TEFL Courses & Certification in Bangkok, Thailand

Hi Everyone! I completed the 120-hour in-person TEFL course in Bangkok with Essential TEFL and it was exactly what I was looking for. If you are searching for the best TEFL course in Thailand, especially one that includes classroom practice and real job support, this is worth serious consideration. Before enrolling, I had the same questions many people ask online: Is the TEFL course accredited? Is a 120-hour TEFL certificate enough to teach abroad? Can you get a teaching job in Thailand after completing the course? How long does it take to find a TEFL job? The course is fully accredited and delivered in person, not online. That made a big difference. We were trained in lesson planning, classroom management, creating quizzes and exams, and teaching grammar and speaking skills to real students. The observed teaching practice gave me confidence before stepping into a full-time role. The training focused on practical skills. We learned how to: Plan structured lessons using course books. Create quizzes, mid-term tests, and final exams. Adapt lessons for mixed-ability learners. Manage a classroom professionally. Prepare for interviews at Thai schools. If you are wondering if a TEFL course near you or an online TEFL course is enough, I would say the in-person training in Thailand gives you a clear advantage when applying for jobs locally. Schools prefer teachers who are already in the country and classroom-ready. Job placement support was one of the strongest parts. The team helped with CV preparation, interview guidance and understanding the Non-B visa and work permit process. Most trainees secured positions quickly after finishing the course. For anyone asking, “How much does a TEFL course cost?” or “Is a TEFL certificate worth it?” I found the investment worthwhile because it led directly to paid teaching work in Thailand. If your goal is to teach English in Thailand and you want more than just a certificate, this course gives you structured training, local connections, and realistic guidance about the visa process. I would recommend it to anyone serious about starting a teaching career in Thailand. Thank you for reading. Adam

I used the International TEFL Academy Alumni Facebook groups to connect with other alumni in Thailand. I had the alumni corner help me to fix my resume to be up to date and ready to go before I started applying for positions.
