toptuan 6 #4 Posted October 7, 2009 I got my TEFL from Chichester College at their Bangkok branch about five years ago. TEFL certificate recognized by the university which hired me. Was a good program with well-qualified teachers and practical instruction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most Universities require teachers they hire to have a degree, not just a TEFL Certificate. But you never know, good luck, give it a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nicknbg1981 0 #9 Posted October 8, 2009 Im really excited about the replies so far! Im sure this will be a wonderful experence, while I did go to college I never finished. I took advanced English in high school and did fairly well! I need to brush on on grammer, but Im so excited! I never expected ot be planning to leave the USA and to be teaching in a Asian country. This all happened about 2 months ago, I was wanting a change of pace, I work in a casino dealing cards. I needed to find a job that allowed me to help people and to experence a new culture. My mother always told me that without a broad view of the world you can not really be apart of it or understand it. I came across this college and it looked so great! I have a very close friend in Thailand so this naturally happened! Im looking forward to awkward culture shock, misscommunications and of course learning a new language! Although Thai writing seems insanely hard to read! Imust admit Im worried about fitting into Bangkok and about finding people to socialize with, but a new experence will be to great to pass up!

Be very careful! The second half of the course contains a section entitled "The Superfluous Use Of Exclamation Marks" ! It's a minefield for the unwary! Good luck! !!!!!!!

Phatcharanan 549 #13 Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) I obtained ny TESOL at the Bangkok Branch. It is hardly a 'college'..more like 6-8 rooms. The course was good however and the instructors were excellent. I managed to secure my own position before the course finished but the other guys and gals on the course all secured positions afterwards.

PLUS an emphasis on practicalities, invaluable for learning the 'easy' way. Check out Discovery Lodge about [from memory] 2/3 blocks from the school, away from MRT's Suthisan station - great atmosphere and 'Nina', the owner, full of friendly, useful advice.
