Good TEFL courses?

strawberry queen 123 · 2014-06-12 21:20:26

Hi :) I was just wondering does anybody have any recommendations on which TEFL course is best ? I was considering doing a combined 120 hour course during the Summer but don't want to spend too much (no more than €350) and want to do a course which is recognised so will be of value to me... Any suggestions ?

If you're still interested the most important thing to consider is the accreditation of the course. If you want to teach in Ireland in a recognised school you need to do a course accredited by ACELS. Go on their website at acels.ie

Cambridge and Trinity College, London accredited courses are supposed to be good too but are much more expensive than what you would like to spend.

The courses that pop up on Groupon etc from time to time are usually not accredited so could be a waste of your time and money depended on your needs.
