"I also have a TEFL certificate and a CELTA with over a year of TEFL teaching experience in Thailand."

Do you think that your EFL experience will help you teach actual subjects? Unless you have at least a 6 month practicum Not many schools will put you on the top of their list.

Will you find a job? YEs, will it be the best paid at the best school? Not likely. International schools here are very picky.

There is always the possibility that a school will be needy the day you go in.

Try search associates. They are a major recruiter for international schools. Also go to the yearly international school fairs.

No I didn't think EFL experience would help me teach a maths lesson, for example. Actually I wasn't asking whether my EFL teaching would help me teach anything. I was more curious whether those credentials on top of a PGCE would help at all in securing a teaching job outside of EFL in a primary school in Thailand. I didn't think it would help for the better schools to be honest. Just curious as to the kind of options I would have if I decided to take a year in Thailand rather then do my NQT year straight away. I'll definitely have a look at Associates. Thanks for that.

Thank you for all the replies, I've decided that I will stay in the UK and gain my NQT year at least. There's no point waiting another year only to get a marginally higher salary than English teaching. Another cold wet Winter in Blighty!

Fair enough. Care to elaborate?

Hi,

I'll be finishing up my PGCE in Primary Education this June in the UK. I'm thinking of heading to Thailand for a year before going back and doing my NQT year. I also have a TEFL certificate and a CELTA with over a year of TEFL teaching experience in Thailand.

Have I any chance of securing a decent international school position? I would ideally like to be earning about 60-70 thousand bath per month.

Thoughts?
