TEFLSCHOOLHELP Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Sorry if this isn't the correct forum to ask this but over the last 6 months I have thought seriously about opening a TEFL training school in Bangkok. I've been in the industry for years so I think it could be successful but I can't seem to find information about how to actually register/become a training centre. I even read somewhere that it's impossible/illegal to register as a TEFL training centre in Bangkok due to some law that was passed 10+ years ago. There's over 10+ TEFL schools here already though and I'm sure they're not illegal. Does anyone know anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think the first question you need to answer is "what qualifications do you need to be able to confer internationally recognized certifications" ? Do you know what a TEFL curriculum should teach ? What about standards ? Who regulates TEFL certs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 The school building needs to be licensed as a non-formal school by the Ministry of Education. To issue certificates, you need to have a curriculum for TEFL teaching/training attached to the license. The above is to be legal in Thailand. TEFL accreditation is separate to this. There isn't one world-wide accreditation organization. However, employers are usually happy with a certificate from a legal school that offered 120 hours of onsite training with 6 observed teaching practices with real students and some sort of affiliation with an international organization..
