TEFL Thailand Blog

Let’s assume you wish to relocate abroad and start a career as an English Teacher in Thailand.

You must start by earning a TEFL certificate to teach. All employers will be interested in your qualifications, and a TEFL is the key to demonstrating yourself as seriously focused on teaching and well-qualified to do so.

TEFL Phuket is approved by the Thai Ministry of Education (MoE), and your certificate is registered with them. So anywhere you go in Thailand, you’ll be respected as trained to teach English. This is important for you, as there are many untested and unapproved programs offered online and other places and these are not well received by employers, nor are they certified by the M o E.

Your odds of employment are better than excellent. Allthough Phuket is very popular with foreigners, there remains a large shortage of English teachers here. A recent editorial in the Phuket Gazette by the Chief of the M o E detailed a shortage of some 400+ teachers in Phuket alone – most of them in English. People here wish to learn English – it is imperative for their financial success in their hospitality and tourist businesses. The remainder of Thailand has an even larger shortage. So finding a job, once you are qualified, is almost guaranteed.

As part of a job offer, your employer will help you with the documentation for a one year work permit. Then, you are on track for permanent living in the “Land of 1000 Smiles!”
