nicelee808 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi all, I have nearly finished my BA in Tesol, unfortunately, halfway through I learned that this will only get me a temporary license and I need to do a post grad. teaching diploma; I have found a provider named St. Roberts Group, I would like to know if they are approved by TCT, and how would one go about checking which schools are approved by TCT. I have looked through google, kind of feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozmeldo Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 To answer your question, there is no approval list. Will the diploma get you a teaching license along with 1.5 years at a current school + 3-5 teachers including the director that will sign on your behalf. Yes, at the moment it's possible. 1.5-2 years from now when you have your paperwork sorted. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemist Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I had some contact with Khurusapha (TCT) recently, and they claimed that the diploma you get from St Roberts is good enough to get a teacher license. The woman I talked to also said there were no guarantees, since they are changing the rules all the time (what a surprise). I also called St Roberts, and they indicated that you can get a temporary teacher license during the course if you can show TCT that you are enrolled in a program that will let you apply for a license. In other words, you can work while studying. Can this be true? Btw, the TCT almost never answers your calls. They also don't reply if you send them an email. That's my impression, anyway.

chemist Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I forgot to mention the number of work permits you're allowed to have without a teacher license. TCT claimed three during a period of six years. Correct? Chemist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonr1971 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 You could consider Uni of Nottingham via online. They have a dip ed that will enable you to get a license. They also have a Masters in Ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCT claimed three during a period of six years. Correct? Chemist It is the labour office that issues a Work Permit, not the TCT. The TCT issues waivers for the teaching license, allowing you to teach and get a work permit. The maximum number of waivers is indeed 3, but more is not uncommon. The registration is not that good at the TCT and they also consider things as if you are really trying to get certified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakineto Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I actually got a response from Khurusapa last year. I specifically asked whether a certain university is recognized by them or not. They didn't answer my question but sent me instead that one here: Accreditation university in Thailand for education course. 1. St Theresa International College Address: Rangsit-Nakonnayok Rd. Bungsan, Onkarak, Nakonnayok Website: www.stic.ac.th Tel. +66 3734 9933-6 , +66 2955 9322 Course Accreditation : Graduate Diploma in Teaching Profession 2. Assumption University Address: Hua Mak Campas Ramkhamheang, Bangkok Website:www.education.au.ede Tel. +66 2300 4543-53 ext. 3718, 3610 Course Accreditation: M.Education (Curriculum and Instruction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmeldo Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I'm not at all certain either of these programs will work. I think the only budget option is St Babbitt's. Honestly, it's all a crapshoot until you get your license in hand. That's not comforting I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
