$200 OFF! TESOL Certification for K-12 Jobs in Thailand
The minimum TESOL / TEFL certification requirement for getting an English teaching job in Thai public schools or private after-school English classes is a 120-hour TESOL Certificate; however, aiming for the minimum requirements is not the best option in terms of job opportunities and job satisfaction. The 140-hour TESOL course with TEYL specialization is highly recommended for k-12 teachers because you will get 20 extra hours of training with a special focus on the approaches that you should use when teaching English to children and teenagers.

Advanced TESOL Certification for Language School Jobs

If you want to stay in Thailand for more than one year, we recommend adding the 20-hour Teaching Business English Course (TBEC) certification. This course will prepare you for the more lucrative market of teaching English to business professionals. You can teach Business English at a language school or offer private one-to-one lessons. You can also save $200 with the 140-hour TESOL package for Business English teachers.
