Vantage TEFL Certification

Vantage’s TEFL course is intensive as I was advised before enrolling. Having said that, it’s not that the course is difficult to understand, it’s that there is a lot of material to get your head around. I found if I kept at it each day, it was quite manageable. Even when talking about grammar—just part of the course—the course instructors made the subject manageable and highly engaging. My observed teaching practices were where Vantage truly excelled. The feedback I got after each class was instrumental in developing the teaching skills I will need to be a successful in the classroom. Vantage was always there every step of the way to reassure me and kept building my confidence with each practice session. Vantage’s job services was also great. Their Jobs Coach showed us how to build a professional resume and cover letters and we also covered interviewing techniques to get schools interest in you. I was interviewing with multiple schools the first week out the door. In the end, I landed a fantastic job with an annual contract at a leading international school in Bangkok. Vantage was an amazing experience. I would definite recommended working with these guys for anyone looking to build a teaching career.

While doing my research I saw there were a lot of TEFL programs in Thailand but not many in Bangkok, especially not good quality ones that have an in-class training. Based on the reviews and conditions that weren't hard for me to fulfill as a non-native English speaker to join the course, I decided Vantage would be a good choice. After a visit to the school, I was convinced that Vantage was the right place to be and I wasn't wrong. TEFL training was intensive, but I've come to learn so much during the 120-hours course. Our group was small so we had the full attention of the trainers and we were able to express any doubts we had and get personalized feedback. I wasn't sure I was cut out to be a teacher but after the course and especially the practical part where we had to teach Thai students, I gained confidence and was able to improve my abilities while applying what I've learned. I would recommend this school and especially in-person classes to anyone who wishes to start a teaching career, whether they've had experience teaching or want to switch careers like me. Vantage trainers are knowledgeable and offer great support when it comes to seeking job opportunities. Plus with this school you'll have some fun while studying, which should always be a part of a great unforgettable learning experience

I quickly had to find a new career as my job as a former flight attendant was made redundant due to coronavirus crisis. Once I knew I wanted to pursue a new career teaching English. I realized that I would need excellent training to build the new skill set I would need to be successful in my new job. While still in Europe, I googled up the top-rated TEFL trainers. That research led me to Vantage. I was first surprised to learn that they were among the top-rated TEFL programs on the planet. And they were in Thailand which was a top choice of where I wanted to teach. I wanted to immediately hit the ground running post-TEFL and get some viable teaching experience so I could, in a post-Covid era, teach anywhere in the world. In Vantage, in my observed practice teaching classes, I had guidance at every step in developing six separate lesson plans/ I got fabulous feedback after each class session. And, in the end, I developed professional teaching skills. I got better with each practice class. Vantage’s trainers always were always there for me to ensure I was developing the teaching skills I needed in the classroom. My career transition went flawlessly. I’m enjoying new friendly skies here in the classroom. I can’t recommend Vantage enough. If you’re like me and thinking long term, save yourself all the research time I put in, and give Vantage a call. You’ll be glad you did.
