Anybody got any information on when the next test(s) will be, and how I get an application form ?

There is currently no information on when or even if further tests will be held.

I have sent six without response. They have not even processed the TCC certs from last year.

In the US, this would have been completed in a week by clerical staff making b350 an hour.

Lazy sods. No job pride at all. No professionalism from the bottom to the top. Sad really.

There was a post on one of the teaching forums today. The poster stated that they had received and email reply form Kurusapha stating:

There is no schedule for Professional Knowledge Test and Thai Culture Training in this year.

For the 2nd round of teaching permit, you can apply without the professional development.

So, apparently the news isn't good.

I don't know if this means they just have decided yet or if it means there won't be any.

Perhaps people need to start politely badgering KSP for clarification.

Guess it means what this guy wrote. That you don't need the Professional for the second round. I'd sent them two e-mails, and both were answered within three days. You might have to attach your documents to make it look more professional.

If you don't get an answer, try to contact their supervisor. Time for a change. I'd be entitled for a third one, if I'd stay at my school. .

But their English is so weird that you need the ability to read between the lines, as usual in the land of Why's.
