TEFL Courses & Certification in Thailand

I experienced an eye-opening job coaching session with Emos. The information that he provided on the job opportunities that are available in various countries, and his personal experiences, were really helpful. I have started my teaching journey already and I look forward to a more rewarding teaching career. Thanks, Emos & Premier TEFL!

As an experienced teacher, I found my TEFL Institute journey both rewarding and enriching. The course was well structured, engaging, and practical, offering fresh ideas and strategies that have enhanced my teaching practice. The webinars and tutorials were a standout feature, providing valuable insights, practical techniques, and excellent support throughout the course. A special thank you to Laura for her encouragement, and unwavering support, which made a real difference to my learning experience. I would also like to thank Olivia for the wonderful opportunity to lend my voice to the course. I highly recommend TEFL Institute to both aspiring and experienced teachers looking to develop their skills through a supportive, professional, and high-quality learning experience.

Premier TEFL offers a solid 300-hr course and the lessons are very educational—I went from knowing hardly anything about teaching language to feeling like I could actually organize English lessons someday. And I did indeed land a job while I was still working on my TEFL certificate to teach Spanish, because some of the principles of teaching English generalize to teaching other languages. One thing that really makes this TEFL program stand out is the amount of support you get. Anytime you have questions or doubts, you can e-mail the staff and they are very responsive. The tutors, Anya and Laura, are available once a week for a live Zoom session, but you can e-mail them anytime and they will answer all your questions, and if they don't have an answer, they will direct you to another staff member who does. The support staff, like Olivia and Lisa, are also very helpful for your course needs and even check in to see how you're doing. Overall, I was very pleased with the value of this course and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning how to teach English.

My trip to Asia was my first, and it provided an incredible opportunity to immerse myself in a completely different culture. I embraced the people, traditions, language, food, and way of life, gaining a much deeper appreciation for the diversity of the world around me. Meeting new people and building meaningful connections was one of the highlights of the experience, and I made friendships that I will cherish for years to come. This journey represented a significant period of personal growth. I stepped well outside of my comfort zone and challenged myself in ways I never thought possible. I became more confident in making my own decisions independently, embraced new experiences without hesitation, and enjoyed the freedom to focus on my own personal development. For the first time in many years, I was able to concentrate solely on myself without the day-to-day responsibilities I have towards my family, which allowed me to grow in confidence and independence. One of my biggest achievements was travelling halfway around the world despite my fear of flying. As someone who has always disliked flying, this was a challenge in itself, but overcoming that fear gave me a tremendous sense of accomplishment and proved that I am capable of far more than I sometimes believe. I truly experienced things I would never have dreamed of and created memories that will stay with me forever. None of this would have been quite the same without Hayley, Arron and Thuy, who were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire experience. Their support, encouragement, friendship and guidance played a huge role in making the trip so special and memorable. I will never, ever forget my time there. It was a life-changing experience that enabled me to grow both personally and professionally, gave me friendships and memories to treasure, and showed me what is possible when I am willing to embrace new challenges and opportunities. Bring on my next adventure ( although I am unsure my husband and family will agree this time )

The study materials were straight to the point, rich in content and easy to grasp. The support staff member, Laura, responded to messages promptly. My practical course sessions with Michelle Benson gave me the kind of experience and heads up that I needed to improve my one-on-one and whole-class teaching skills. It has been a very rewarding journey for me.

Amazing experience, great opportunity to travel and explore a new culture and helps get you out your comfort zone. Its also very rewarding helping children abroad learn English and seeing how happy and grateful they were.

I’ve just finished the programme 🎉😭 Time flew 💨 so quickly! I’m quite gutted because I really enjoyed my stay there and now feel “home sick!” I took part in Thailand from 4th June 2026 to 18th June 2026. The staff are fantastic; Morgan, Aaron, George, and Leyu have all been incredibly welcoming and supportive. You can genuinely tell they love what they do and I can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond to help me and the other students. The other students also been amazing, creating a warm, friendly, and supportive atmosphere from day one, especially Max! The programme has been very well planned so far and I’ve already learned so much about Thailand. Teaching was absolutely freaking amazing!!! I probably enjoyed it more than the kids hahah 🤪 the kids did enjoy it too 😁 The kids and staff were a ⭐ you can tell the Thai teachers had passion for teaching.

My experience with the TEFL Institute of Ireland so far has been excellent. From enrollment and access to the course materials, to having a tutor available as well as scheduled check-ins, the support and overall offering have been fantastic and of an exceptionally high quality. I have also had a few queries, and the customer support from Lisa Flynn has been exemplary, helping to resolve my issues quickly so I could continue enjoying the course. If you are considering taking an online TEFL course, I cannot recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland highly enough.

I have not been there in person, but I did sign up for their online course. Everything about it feels professional, and the sessions come across as really interactive. The language they use is simple and easy to follow. It was honestly the right fit for me. Right after I registered, Annelies emailed to welcome me, and it instantly put me at ease. They also made it clear that they will be guiding me throughout the course and that they will be there whenever I need help.

I’ve just completed the 10 hour virtual TEFL course and it was genuinely interactive from start to finish, plus really enjoyable. Michelle created such an easy, relaxed atmosphere and guided us as we worked in pairs to put together our own lesson plan. It was also lovely meeting so many great people over Zoom, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone considering a TEFL career. Michelle is a fantastic teacher and you will really have a great time on this course.

I have just finished the 120 hour TEFL course and I really loved it. Everything is explained so clearly in the modules, and the material is packed with useful information while still feeling very manageable, so progressing through it was straightforward. I would definitely recommend it to other people, and I cannot wait to put what I have learned here to use in the future.

I did the 10 hour virtual TEFL course with Michelle Benson. It ran over two days and was really intense and interactive, and I honestly loved it. At first I was unsure how it would work through Skype, but it ended up going way beyond what I expected. I came away with new friends, a better understanding of the English language than I thought I had, plus loads of practical tips and pointers I can bring into my own classroom. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, you will not be bored for even a moment. I would absolutely do it again. Thanks for everything Michelle! :) Lisa

I ordered a Hard Copy certificate and it took longer than expected to get sent out. I could not get through to anyone on the phone or by email, which I am putting down to COVID Lockdown and the office being closed. As soon as I used the Chat, Kate was very helpful and told me the status of my order straight away. I have given 4 stars purely because contacting them by phone and email was so hard, but the chat feature is excellent, so try that first if you need help.

Taking this course has made me feel confident enough to start applying for TEFL roles overseas. I found the platform really straightforward to navigate and it was packed with useful resources, and the modules were informative, clearly well researched, and backed up with detailed bibliographies so I could keep exploring topics on my own. I would absolutely recommend this company.

I’ve just finished the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about signing up. Everything was clearly structured, well planned, and really straightforward to follow. I was a bit anxious at the beginning, but Kate had me, and everyone else on the course, feeling comfortable almost straight away. We started with a few warmers so we could get to know each other, and I honestly think that made it easier for everyone to relax and fully take part in every part of the course. Kate stayed professional throughout, but she also made sure it was enjoyable and never too heavy, so it didn’t feel like being overloaded with information you could not keep up with. I genuinely can’t rate this course highly enough for anyone interested, it is excellent and completely worth doing.

My experience with TELF, the online language school, was fantastic. Everything they shared was really helpful, easy to follow, and explained in a way that made sense right away. Huge thanks to advisor Killian Bukulin for walking me through every program, taking the time to respond to my 1000 questions, and staying so friendly the whole way through. I would absolutely recommend TELF to anyone who wants to learn not only how to teach english, but also the methods behind teaching any new language.

I genuinely cannot recommend the Level 5 Advanced Diploma enough. Everything is explained in a clear, bite sized format, so it is easy to take your time and work through it at whatever pace suits you. On top of that, you come away with loads of resources that you can keep for future lessons or use to dig deeper when you are studying and preparing. I would also suggest the 30 Hour Teaching English Online, the 30 Hour Teaching Young Learners, the 30 Hour Teaching Advanced Grammar, and the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies courses. In the Classroom Methodologies course, Michelle Benson is so kind and straightforward that you finish it feeling like you are genuinely ready to walk into a real classroom. Altogether, these courses have left me feeling fully prepared to teach English to actual students.

Hi everyone! Since July, I have completed my third TELF Institute course, which were the 180 hours, TELF for Teaching Business English and Teaching English for Exams. I honestly cannot recommend these TELF courses enough. I found them demanding, yet still really fun to work through. Everything is presented in a way that makes sense, and the quizzes and assessments help the content actually stick. Even though I already teach foreign languages, I have taken so much from these courses and now I feel properly prepared for what is next, because I am hoping to teach in Spain or South America. The TELF courses have given me a great deal. If you are thinking about doing one, just do it. You will not regret it! Thanks TELF Institute, Richard

Super useful and packed with info. At the start, Leo gave me really solid direction on picking the course that suited me best, and Shauna was great when I needed help arranging an extension. Any time something came up, the customer support team got back to me fast and were genuinely kind about helping. I would definitely recommend.

I just finished the 10 hour advanced certificate in TEFL classroom methodologies course with Michelle benson and I honestly loved it. I came away with loads of useful information that I will definitely be putting into practice from now on. Michelle’s way of teaching made everything feel relaxed, and her enthusiasm for TEFL really rubbed off on me. Thanks so much for the course, I would happily recommend it to anyone who is interested.
