Program Overview

Thinking about leaving the routine behind and starting a new life in Thailand? Imagine tropical beaches, buzzing night markets, ancient temples and weekend trips across Asia — all while building a new career abroad. Use code GA100 for up to $100 off your trip. Most online TEFL courses focus on theory, which can leave new teachers without the confidence or practical classroom skills needed overseas. This experience is different. You’ll complete an in-country, internationally recognised TESOL qualification with real classroom training, practical teaching experience and local guidance designed to prepare you for teaching in the real world. After successfully completing the course, our local partners will help connect you with a paid teaching job in Thailand. You’ll also receive 4 weeks of accommodation, orientation, local guidance and ongoing support, helping make the move easier from day one. If you’re looking for a career change, a gap year with purpose or a way to live and work in Thailand long-term, this is your chance to make it happen.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

What can I say... Words just don't seem enough to express how great my Amazing Dynamic Duo (Trip Coordinator - Reece / Travel Concierge - Ashley) are. From the time the booking was made and notwithstanding we also have Covid-19 thrown into the mix and then all the way right through to me finally reaching my destination Prague, Czech Republic. Throughout the entire time, my dynamic duo have always been extremely professional, courteous, helpful and and and... but above all they have gone above and beyond the call of duty in assisting me with all that I needed to do in making my dream become a reality and me landing in Prague especially during this crisis the world is now facing with the Covid-19. Now I get to enjoy my birthday abroad in a new country that I have never really been to before. And so, I look forward to the new chapter in my life learning to teach abroad and embrace the new way of life in Prague! I would like to take this opportunity in giving my heartfelt thanks to both my Amazing Dynamic Duo (Trip Coordinator - Reece / Travel Concierge - Ashley) because without you, I would not be here in Prague right now... ""THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!""

The whole team was helpful

My experience with gWorld was overall positive because of the team that helped me prepare for my trip. I had Kate as a coordinator. She introduced me to the necessary paperwork/documentation I would need to do and lead me through each step of the process. I knew I could reach out about anything and she could answer my question or direct me to the right person. It seemed like a few things got lost along the way but I still appreciate her forwarding my documents to XploreAsia. She was also able to give me a discount when I paid for my trip so I could avoid paying extra because of bank fees which was great! I'd say the whole team was helpful with their positive attitude and ability to call almost any time despite the time difference. They checked in on me regularly and made sure I had everything sorted out.

All in all so far so good.

Tim was of great help. We first had a short interview process to see if I was eligible for my program and he gave me some give information about the company itself. After he processed to answering all the questions I had and made sure I felt comfortable and reassured before continuing. He was very upbeat and was very enthusiastic. However, be mindful they will proceed to go on and strongly encourage you to make deposit to hold your spot. I didn't like this tactic but I was sure I wanted to travel with this company after all my research. All in all so far so good.

Alex ACanada · June 2026

Very friendly and knowledgeable

Very friendly and knowledgeable, and flexible about allowing me the time I need to make my decision, as well as effectively answering all my questions, even the uncomfortable ones related to poor outside opinions and reassuring me and being understanding of the logic behind these issues. Generally fun to talk to, and helped get me excited for my trip.

Honora HAustralia · June 2026

Amazing, friendly and supportive.

Amazing, friendly and supportive. I loved that they were super informative and took the time to outline every part of the trip and answer any questions I had throughout. They were very patient through payment processings, and offered helpful advice and guidance through my decision for the trip. Overall a highly professional and helpful experience.

Rose RUnited States · June 2026

Overall I had a great experience!

Overall I had a great experience, but did face a few bumps along the way. The description says Hua Hin, but it's really anywhere in Thailand. The staff were always helpful and available when I had doubts/questions. Covid did make things a bit more challenging, but glad I did this because it was an incredible experience!

Chelsea CUnited States · June 2026

It's been pretty good

It's been pretty good the whole process has been pretty smooth, considering the issues that I had that had to deal with personally that pushed back some things. Then my last travel coordinator "Jack" was not communicating with actually at all. So I express my issues with the manager who actually helped.

Keenan KCanada · June 2026

They Made It Feel Real

The representative of Global Work and Travel answered all my questions and somehow made me even more excited about going and teaching in Thailand. Every person I talked to had a very positive personality and are among the friendliest and happiest people I've ever talked to on the phone.

Samantha SCanada · June 2026

I felt confident and safe.

Amazing! She was so informative and genuine. She genuinely cared and was so polite. She reassured me that I would be taken good care of and explained the whole program to me as well. I felt confident and safe after speaking with her.

Professional But Make It Human

Global Work & Travel team had such a friendly expert, made me feel super happy when she talked to me. Super professional and but casual at the same time. Would always call and be super fast with emails.
