The 120/hr course! Loved it!

The course dashboard was very clean and simple. I enjoyed that you could listen to the coursework rather than just reading it, I was able to do chores while completing my courses. It was a simple process in getting my certificate that I loved and recommend it for anyone looking for a more affordable course.

Highly Recommend!

Just completed the 120-hour TEFL course!
I learnt a lot of useful teaching pedagogies that have been very helpful for my teaching career. Since I’ve been teaching English part-time while also working a full-time job, it took me a little over two months to complete the course.

I really appreciated the audio clips provided for each section—it was great to be able to listen while multitasking. I even tried some of the suggested activities with my students, and they loved them!

Highly recommend!

Premier TEFL has got it!

I'm now almost finished with the 120-hour Advanced TEFL Course and I can say I made the right decision choosing it among many other academies offering the same certification. It's really a master's course covering a very comprehensive content: from the origins of the English language, to rules of grammar and syntax, to teaching techniques & pedagogy, and to lively classroom management including fun games! This course has got it! The interactive web interface/design also makes studying online even more exciting and absorbing. Thanks, Lisa and PT Team!

Comprehensive and great presentation

Excellent coverage of relevant aspects of TEFL (120hr course). Really helped my understanding and improved my approach in my volunteer role with adult migrant students. Great variety of presentation of the topics. Shout out to Lisa, who was extremely helpful when I needed assistance. Definitely recommend this course.

A Multi-Sensory TEFL Learning Experience

I am pleased to have completed my 120-hour Accredited TEFL course. The course material was delivered through a variety of formats: visual, written, and audio, which really supported my learning. Since everyone has their own preferred way of learning, I appreciated that the course catered to different styles. Personally, I’m a visual learner and enjoy hands-on tasks, both of which were well integrated into the training.

The time allocated to complete the course was appropriate and flexible. There’s also the option to purchase an extension if you need more time, which adds to the course’s accessibility. Additionally, I liked that you could download materials from different modules for future reference.

While there are a few areas that could be improved, none of them significantly impacted my learning experience or my ability to complete the course. Overall, I highly recommend this course for its comprehensive approach and its attention to diverse learning needs.

I also got in touch for support regarding the course and declaring my circumstances and Lisa was helpful and understanding in helping me with my needs.
