cyril sneer Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Budget is under 5 grand (GBP) On my last waiver this year and 6th year of teaching, so need to start this year Not sure whether to just go for a cheap Filipino one or UK one like Nottingham Least stressful the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callmeishmael Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 This one's the cheapest and easiest. http://saintrobertsgroup.com/ANNOUNCEMENT/ You get what you pay for, but it is recognized by the TCT. Signing up for this course should get you one more waiver. However, anyone getting a diploma or a PGCEi now will still have to take a TCT test that NO-ONE seems to have passed, in order to get their teacher's license. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 To qualify as what kind of teacher? Which subject area? Which age range? Certified for which countries? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangryBirds Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 There seems to have been some changes recently with what the TCT accept and they now seem to be pushing (expensive) M.Ed courses being run at 3 different Thai Unis and not accepting other Masters and PGCEs. A colleague has just finished his Nottingham PGCEi, remains to be seen if gets over the line with the MoE. This could be carnage in a couple of years when those with expiring Licenses on previously recognized qualifications try to renew. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As confusing and forever changing Thai rules seem to be, one thing I have noticed over the years is the implementation of grandfathering. I would think those that already have a licence will be able to renew with their existing qualifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callmeishmael Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 ^ I'll let you know if I am indeed a grandfather about 11 months from now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlyai Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I may be wrong, but doesn't working at an International School here, help you to get your licence? So maybe switch to an International School. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callmeishmael Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 International School teachers also need Thai licenses. However, most of them have licenses from their home counties, which will qualify them for Thai licenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't be asking those of us with current teaching licences to do anything extra. It is prior rights just as it is with the Thai teachers.

Does this mean those working at international schools with a UK Med AND QTS in the UK and US do not need a Thai teaching licence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callmeishmael Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 ^No, it means that, as licensed teachers in their home countries, they can get Thai licenses easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
