dannylees Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hello I am currantly looking at doing the TEFL and CELTA Courses here back in England but they are very Expensive to do. Do I actually need the certificates to teach in Thailand or do some schools not require them? Many Thanks Daniel Lees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virtualtraveller Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm in this business, 1) do a proper in-class TEFL, 2) It doesn't have to be CELTA unless you want to make a long career at the British Council 3) Thailand is likely cheaper for the full 4 week TEFL 4) do it locally if you intend to come an teach here, some will find you a job 5) don't let anyone talk you into teaching without bothering to get trained. 6) Chiang Mai is probably your best bet for a nice place to take the TEFL 7) make sure the outfit has a credible internationally recognised accreditation, not a local one.

sirchai Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 You didn't even mention what other qualifications you might, or might not have. You'll need a BA in any field to get a NON-B and a work permit, independently of what some others here're saying. Just being a native English speaker isn't enough these days. I've got a TEFL and a TESOL, but nobody ever wanted to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
