Kuala Lumpur. The capital city, located on Peninsular Malaysia between Thailand and Singapore, offers the highest amount of TEFL courses in Malaysia. KL, as it is affectionately referred to throughout Asia, is an ultra modern city. The city’s most famous landmark is the sparkly Petronas Towers, yet it is just a few hours from the rainforest and the warm beaches of the China Sea. KL is as impressive as is it large, what started as a simple mining town is now home to over 1.5 million people. You will find everything and anything during your teaching certificate courses in KL, including plenty of examples of traditional Malay culture along the historic streets throughout the city.

Kuala Terengganu. This mid-sized city also offers many opportunities for individuals to take TEFL courses and earn a TEFL certification in Malaysia. It is located on the northeast coast of Peninsular Malaysia and is by far the most conservative area of Malaysia. Although there is no actual law in place, societal standards require women to wear a full baju, which is the traditional Muslim garb of Malaysia, as well as a headscarf. Bajus and headscarves are stunning in terms of colors and patterns, brightly filling Kuala Terengganu with various colors. The most traditional of the population believe women and men should not touch in public, even to shake hands. The city is clean, well organized and also has a large Chinese population. If you are looking for a very different and stunning cultural experience while earning your TEFL certificate, this is the city for you.

Borneo. The well known tropical paradise is a tourist hotspot, and an equally enjoyable place to complete TEFL courses in Malaysia. It is the largest island in Asia and is actually shared by three countries; about 30 percent of Borneo is considered territorial Malaysia. It is mountainous, lush, and many well seasoned travelers have called it their favorite place on Earth. It is home to many endangered species and several cities with populations over 500,000.
