We are committed to providing you with an excellent TEFL teacher training program, empowering you to be a competent and enthusiastic teacher in the international teaching environment of your choice.

Course participants come from various professional backgrounds and vary in age from twenty to sixty five. What everyone has in common is an interest in learning, a commitment to the tasks at hand and the understanding that one can have fun teaching!

See what makes The TEFL Institute course your only choice for teacher training in Thailand:

• Accepted by the Thai Ministry of Education and recognized worldwide
  Eligible graduates can apply for a Thai teacher's license or can work anywhere in the world with the additional US university graduate level accreditation. Is a teaching license by the Thai Ministry of Education enough?
  
  
• Quality Instructors
  Our course instructors have advanced academic degrees, attend international education conferences, run Teaching Methodology workshops for current teachers in the field and have numerous years experience in successfully teaching English to Thais in Thailand, from K-12 to corporate English training. This way, in your TEFL course you get not only the latest academic wisdom but practical insight from true experts in the field!
  
  
• Earn top teaching salaries as a TEFL Institute course graduate.
  Choose from a variety of excellent teaching opportunities upon graduation! More details.
  
  
• Further your education up to a US Master degree while in Thailand!
  Earn graduate level credits with the TEFL Institute and the State University of New York (SUNY), NY, USA! This is the only 120 hour TEFL course in Asia accredited with US graduate level course credits, and you can even complete your US Master's degree while in Thailand! More information.
  
  
• Small Groups of Learners
  We have a maximum enrollment number of six students in each TEFL course. This makes for a beneficial, individualized and intensive experiential learning environment for all TEFL course participants. To secure a seat on the course of your choice, reserve your seat early.
  
  
• Maximum Practice Teaching Exposure
  Our course includes a minimum of observed eight hours practice teaching in three different teaching environments: One on one, small group, and Thai government school classroom teaching. Many of our cohorts interact with Thai teachers in workshop settings as well. Why? To get you maximum exposure to teaching and Thai teachers while part of the course! Have a look.
  Practice teaching in each of these settings helps you choose your teaching preference later on. Click here to see what some of our graduates had to say about these diverse teaching experiences!
  
  
• Make a difference
  All practice teaching is done for Thai students and Thai teachers who do not have the funds to pay for English lessons. All of our instructors donate their time to teach English lessons every week to the less fortunate, and we invite you to do the same: You will make a world of difference! Details
  
  
• Creating Quality Educators
  Private schools, corporations as well as government schools have been eagerly hiring our graduates since our first class in 2001. The need for respectful, professional and knowledgeable educators in Thailand is growing. If you are keen on teaching at one of the many excellent schools around Bangkok, let us help you prepare your resume and yourself so you can obtain the teaching position of your choice.
  
  
• Understanding Thai Culture
  In order to be a successful teacher, you need to be able to connect with your students. Knowing the foreign culture is essential in making this connection. You will learn, understand and work with the subtle and not so subtle cultural differences as part of our course. How?
  
  
• Health Insurance Coverage available for course participants and graduates
  Good health insurance coverage is important for your peace of mind while in a foreign country. We have negotiated with two premier international health insurance providers to offer our course participants an array of insurance packages according to your budget and need. We use these companies ourselves and recommend them. For details please email us!
  

If you are currently in Bangkok, stop by for a visit at our centrally located office, chat with our current students or sit in on a lesson! You can also give us a call or drop us a line for more information. We look forward to meeting you!
