Why Take a TEFL Course with a Friend?

Arriving in Bangkok with someone you know makes the first few weeks significantly easier. You will have a study partner for lesson planning and practice teaching sessions, someone to share accommodation with, and a familiar face as you settle into life in a new country. Many of our most successful graduates arrived together and went on to secure teaching positions at the same schools or in the same areas of Bangkok.

Our course cohorts are intentionally small — a maximum of ten students — so coming with a friend still means you integrate fully with the group and meet people from around the world.

What Is Included in the Course Fee?

Whether you enroll individually or as a group, all students receive the same comprehensive course package:

  • 120 hours of TQUK Level 5 accredited TEFL training
  • Observed teaching practice in real Bangkok classrooms
  • Guaranteed job placement support with vetted partner schools
  • Visa and work permit guidance from our in-house team
  • Access to our Bangkok teacher network and alumni community
  • Certificate recognised by schools and employers across Thailand and internationally

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can we enroll on different course start dates and still get the discount?

    All members of your group must enroll on the same course start date to qualify. If you have a specific situation, contact us and we will see what we can do.

  • Is there a maximum group size?

    Our courses are capped at ten students per cohort, so the maximum group size that can be accommodated on a single start date is ten. For larger groups, please contact us to discuss options across multiple dates.

  • Does the discount apply to the deposit?

    The group discount is applied to the total course fee. Your admissions contact will confirm the exact payment schedule and discounted amounts when your group application is confirmed.

  • What if one person in our group drops out before the course starts?

    If a withdrawal reduces your group below the qualifying threshold, the discount will be adjusted accordingly. We will always contact you in advance to discuss the options.

  • Is the Essential TEFL course internationally recognised?

    Yes. The course is accredited by TQUK (Training Qualifications UK) at Level 5, which is widely recognised by schools, universities, and language institutions in Thailand and across the world.
