Jeremiahnewton Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 My wife and I are about to move to Thailand and she wants to teach english while I do my Forex trading. We have done a search on the best Tefl/Tesol/Celta course and it just gets murky. I am looking for anyones real life experience with such course and which has served you best. We are looking to live in either Bkk, Huan Hin, or Chang mai. Thank you for everyones help so far God bless sincerely Jeremiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was excellent. Check it out here: http://www.teflintl.com/ If your wife intends to do it, pay the extra hundred bucks and stay at the Pines Beach Hotel.

kenkannif Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Do a search there is tons of info on their various courses here in Thailand. Ban Phe is not in Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Hua Hin though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiahnewton Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Done the search it just gets to be some he said she said type stuff. I have seen tons of posts by you ken what would you reccomend would the infamous Celta be worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenkannif Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 ^ That's all you're really going to get anyway mate....you've got a chap with only two posts answering....so again it's going to be a he said, she said....you're never really going to get away from that. Not my place mate to advise. I don't rate the CELTA as much as others do, but then there's good and bad about all of them. PM me for my personal thoughts if you like. Or come over and spend time with each and choose the one that's best for you. That's really the only 'true' test IMO! Also the Hua Hin course isn't running at the mo, or for the foreseeable future (as far as I know). Good luck though mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiahnewton Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thanks Ken we were going to do some touristing before we settle in one location. I will start finding schools in all those locations and check them out thanks for for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
