Renewing A Teacher's Licence

[mrwebb8825]

Pretty straight forward question as the title says. I was issued my 5 year teacher's licence by TCT in July of 2009 and it's due to expire next month. I wanted to know how do I get it renewed? Is it much like the driver's licence where you bring a new picture, show your ID and fill out a renewal form or do you need to go through all of the long drawn out process of paperwork, photo copies, 3-4 weeks waiting time, multiple trips to TCT, etc. like you do when you get your original?

Thank-you

Have you been attending any courses or seminars? You need to be able to show a certain level of demonstrable "professional development" to renew the licence.

This is the only English information I can find just now.

1. Retaining Oneself in the Professional Field
Professional educators with a license to practice, dated five years from the date of the issuance of
the license, have to develop their skills and professional practices in order to attain the criteria set
up by the Teachers’ Council of Thailand Board for the renewal of the license.

I attended a couple of seminars early on but they were all conducted in Thai. I also took a year off and attended classes at Ramkhamheang University studying Phonetics, Linguistics, Phonology, Philosophy, Psychology, Thai History and Literature,and a strange Thai course in Ethics and Morals maintaining a 3.85 GPA.

Still need to know about any forms/paperwork I need to submit and can it be done by mail.

That should be enough further development, but you will need proof, certificates of attendance.

You seem like a "real" teacher and as such should be able to get the establishment you work for to assist you with this. My school did all the paper work, I just signed each page.

These were regular university courses/classes so there are no certificates of completion. There are however, the transcripts showing all courses completed with grades over a 1 year period.
