dny453 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Hello, I'm a certified teacher from Canada (Bachelor of Education.) Worked in Thailand at two different schools. -2014-2016 School #1 -2016- 2018 School #2 I've been wanting to come back to Thailand for August. However, the International school that hired me told me that I'm blacklisted because my previous schools used all three of my waivers (I completed the Thai culture Course as I was switching from job 1 to 2.) A second school (top tier international school) contacted me again and prior to offering me a job also told me I was blacklisted and they couldn't help me get off the list. Is there a way to complete the Thai teacher certification program prior to accepting a position in Thailand? Thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post youreavinalaff Posted May 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2023 You are not blacklisted. You just can't get another waiver. You can work in Universities, language centres and any school which is not governed by OBEC. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchWrapSupreme Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 After you've used up your waivers, it's time to get the full Thailand teaching license. You'll need this form: https://www.coursehero.com/file/33373923/Form-KS01-1pdf/ Unfortunately this isn't the complete form. It's on the Khurusapha website, www.ksp.or.th, which doesn't seem to be working now. You'll need your last school's assistance in completing this form. You'll need signatures from the school director, and 3-5 other teachers, to all vouch for your performance there. This might be difficult to do from outside of Thailand. It might require a trip back on vacation. And knowing Thailand, you might have to grease a few palms to get them interested in such a bothersome task, heh. But if you got offers from top level intl schools, it might be worth it. Alternatively, you might try the ol' "new passport trick". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. They might not see your previous waivers using a new passport number. It worked for me to get 5 waivers. ???? But now I'm done teaching and roasting in Thailand, and am currently enjoying a chilly 4 degrees C here in Idaho, with growing teaching opportunities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachers at International Schools need waivers or licenses just like everyone else. One of they ways you can get a Thai teacher's license, is to have a license from your home country. If you are a qualified teacher from Canada, or the UK or the US, you can just present proof of your qualifications to the TCT (along with a lot of other paperwork) and get your Thai Teacher's License. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike123ca Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 The poster stated that he is a licensed teacher from Canada. Can he nod directly apply for a Thai teaching license from KSP? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callmeishmael Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 ^ Yes, if he has a current license from Canada, he can apply for a Thai Teacher's License. This is what most teachers at International Schools do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrwebb8825 Posted June 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2023 If he were licensed in Canada he would have never needed a waiver. I taught for 23 yrs in Thailand and never needed a waiver. I was also 1 of the 1st in line once Ktue Supa was created to get the new 5 yr license and was on my 3rd renewal when I retired. Before that I had been issued a lifetime license from the MoE which they found a way to 'void' when TCT started collecting their fees. With a Canadian license and copies of his old work permits, the International school can apply for him but it's a hassle since he's not in Thailand and most schools are pretty lazy in regards to helping teachers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plern Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 This is a windup. The op would need some form of licensure to teach. The schools would have applied for either his license or a waiver but one or the other. Without those he's not allowed in the classroom probably doubly so in an international School. So my first question is how did he teach for 4 years without either? If the answer is - he was given waivers. This goes against pretty much every mid to upper tier international school that I'm familiar with in dealing with western CREDENTIALLED teachers. Moreover, the paperwork for the school will be easier after the initial professional application. Therefore, it makes no sense that this gentleman was in not one but two schools and neither bother to apply for professional license for him when it is virtually automatic by virtue of him holding certification and a Western country.
