TEFL Phuket certification TEFL in Phuket Thailand - TEFL Phuket School Links

The above is worth a look and has a useful FAQ's section.

I have been along to both establishments and they have been 'quiet' with regard to students on both occasions. The Kamala school is literally only months old.

I attained TEFL Parts 1 & 2 (Practical teaching and Theory (Lesson Plans etc) in the UK as part of my resettlement package from the Army. Once suitably qualified the TEFL organisation will help you with placements at various schools all over the world. I took a 'year out' on leaving the Army and travelled around the Far East to gain some experience of teaching and add to my portfolio to present to potential schools in the future.

It is a 'safety net' for me. I personally could not live here from the salary I would accrue. However, I have a military pension to fall back on and other 'skill sets'

The bug bear with me is that there are far too many people out there who 'play' at teaching English. Thier main concern is bumming around the world with very little emphasis on actually putting in the 'effort' of teaching the kids, whose parents may have spent a considerable sum of money (In thier eyes) to send thier child to a 'qualified' teacher.

Hope the above link is of use.
