Hello,

 

I'm actually thinking of taking a course at

St. Roberts for a Thai teaching license,

too, because I've used up my

teaching waivers from TCT

(Teachers' Council Of Thailand).

 

I did ask them if TCT would issue another

waiver to me if I take the course, and they

answered me that I should ask my

new school to contact TCT about it.

So I do want to know if it will work

or not. I do hope so!

Did you find out if taking the St Roberts course will be accepted by the TCT/Krusapa?

According to this document (I've highlighted the key part) they wont.

I finished the St. Roberts course this year. Still waiting for the follow-up steps though, probably an exam at a yet unknown date and location.

Hi Marcel,

Thanks for your reply.

How was the ST Roberts course?

How long did it take to finish?

Cheers for your time.

I’ve just applied for St Roberts, they’ve given me a heads up that I’ll still need to take an exam

 

They provided me with a letter I can use to try and get 1 last waiver, still waiting to see if it works or not

 

I know what you mean about the lack of information, I’m in the same boat so just applied for the cheapest course

Cheers for your reply.

The letter St Roberts provided you, did you have to pay the enrollment fee? I think it's 5000 baht. I'm worried if I pay that then Krusapa reject me, St Roberts wont give me a refund.

Please let me know if it works or not, looks like were in the same boat. Best of luck.

Just came across this from a post on FB. Apparently, its the draft of the new rules from Krusapa.

Hi everyone,

I'm aware there are other posts about this topic on this forum. I've literally spent days reading through everything on here prior to posting my own thread. Unfortunately, despite my efforts I've still not found any facts. After living in Thailand for eight years however, I know how quickly things change and how hard getting a straight answer can be. I'm hoping someone out there might be able to shine a light in this very confusing sea of misinformation. 

I'm simply trying to put together different options that will lead to me being able to obtain a professional teachers license from Krusapa.

So far this is what I've found:

1. St Theresa International College

2. Saint Roberts Group

3. PGCEi University of Nottingham

4. PGCEi University of Derby

Has anyone done any of the above and successfully been able to obtain there 5 year teaching license? I just want to make sure before I pay for anything, that it will obviously lead to me getting my license. Any other courses that anyone can suggest are welcomed, thanks for your time.

Also, by taking 1 or 2  would Krusapa be likely to issue me a provisional waiver whilst I'm studying. (I have had 3 waivers already, taught for 4 years in total)

From what I've read 1 & 2 don't require me to take the Krusapa exam and are fairly inexpensive.

But 3 & 4 I will still need to take the exam which I've read is a s*** show so I'm kind of reluctant to pursue this route.

Thanks to anyone with any knowledge for your help and time, it's very much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I need to start studying asap else I can't teach anymore the Krusapa told me this week. So I'm just trying to make sure wherever I study is accredited by the Krusapa.

I've been digging for days trying to find a list of institutions the Krusapa will accept but found only two so far from this forum.

1. ST Teresa College - class doesn't start until June 2023.

2. SaintRobertsGroup - I emailed days ago but still no reply from them so I'm wondering if its even legit.

Can anyone recommend me where to study or how they managed to get the 5 year license?

Cheers for your time.
