Student is a Thai national. We are looking for an intensive, full-time program which will grant a certificate upon completion. Certificate would ideally be recognized within the Thai tourism/hospitality industry. Please relate any experiences with any of the local schools (HH or Cha-Am)... Thank you !

Researching further, it looks like useful sorts of certifactions would be TOEIC or IELTS. Does anybody have any info how widely these are recognised in Thailand?

What is it exactly that you're asking for?

Recommendations of any decent schools in the area. Lots of research to do, I need to start somewhere.
