You want to teach English in Ireland? Great choice! But wait, it’s not that easy. No Trinity College CertTESOL certificate, no official TESOL certificate, no English teaching job! With its rich history, captivating landscape, and lively culture, Ireland is a top destination not only among tourists but also among English teachers. However, if you want to be an English teacher in Ireland, you need to make sure that you have official TEFL certification that is recognised in the country.
Even if you are an experienced teacher and have a degree in TESOL, this is a new directive for English teachers in Ireland. You need an English teaching certificate like the Trinity CertTESOL. In this article, we go over how enrolling in the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course will help you live out your Irish dream.
English teachers in Ireland
In all its years of running, EBC has seen aspiring teachers from all over the world enrol in the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course. From newbies to the TEFL world to experienced teachers who want to be certified to teach English in another country, our course caters to a wide range of teacher trainees with different goals. The focus of this article will be on how the course serves people who want to be English teachers specifically in Ireland.
People who want to be English teachers in Ireland now have a new directive. They must have an official English teaching certificate like the Trinity CertTESOL. The same goes for people who are already teaching and earning as English teachers in their own country. If you want to carry on doing the same thing in Ireland, then you must get trained officially.
Take one of our previous EBC Trinity CertTESOL course graduates, for example. Before taking our course, she already had a Master’s in TESOL from the University of North Carolina. However, despite having a Master’s degree, she could not teach in Dublin. Fast-forward to today, she is now happily teaching in Ireland, thanks to the Trinity CertTESOL, which is accepted and recognised by the British Council.

Be an English teacher in Ireland: Get inspired by Kristina’s story
If you want to be an English teacher in Ireland, then you will be inspired by the story of Kristina, another one of our graduates. With an academic background in the English language, literature, and sociology, as well as a Master’s in Education, Kristina decided to move to Ireland one day. She then ended up being a full-time volunteer at a homeless hostel.
Like many others, at some point, Kristina felt that she wanted to pick teaching back up again. In a graduate interview with us, she shared that this is when she knew that if she wanted to be an English teacher in Ireland, then she would have to get TEFL certification that was recognised there.
Be an English teacher in Ireland: Get official certification
“I realised that in Ireland, I think this Trinity CertTESOL and I think there was another one or or two that are recognised,” she said. Though she tried out a different TEFL certification course at first, Kristina didn’t see how it would help her teach in Ireland.
But she told us everything changed when she discovered the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course.
“I started it, and then I realised, ‘Oh, this is so useless’,” she said. “It means nothing. Like, I can’t even get a job in any of the schools in Ireland. But then I came across this (EBC Trinity CertTESOL course) and it really suited me because it was online. I’m hoping to do maybe some teaching in person and some online, so I was really interested in taking this course.”
Be an English teacher in Ireland: See the world
She also shared her thoughts on how the course is a ticket to the world, saying, “I think it’s great because you can live wherever you want, especially if you want to teach online. And with this graduate program where they look for employment for you like what Tita told us.
“She said, ‘Look, I mean, okay, now you want to look for work in Ireland or wherever. If you want to move somewhere else in some years’ time, yeah, sure, we’ll find you a job there.’ I just couldn’t believe it. Just the freedom of it.
“Like you said, you know that we like to travel. Yeah, I’ve noticed that as well,” Kristina shared. “And I think it’s just if you’ve learned a different language yourself, and you love language…I think for us it’s easier to become teachers as well. Because you know the process and you know how students learn. I think we just have this interest. It’s interesting.”
