In Ireland the Department of Education regulates recognised English Language schools through ACELS (Advisory Council for English Language Schools www.acels.ie ) , you need an ACELS certified TEFL course - CELT to teach English in Ireland. Each country has its own requirements, some schools will accept any duration of TEFL course while others ask for more advanced qualifications, we can advise you on How to Choose the Right TEFL Course for you.
