How much does the TEFL course with job guarantee cost?

The 120-hour in-person TEFL course costs 45,000 THB. A 20,000 THB deposit secures your place, with the balance due on the first day. An internship package for native degree holders is available at 90,000 THB.

When can I start the TEFL course in Bangkok?

Courses run monthly throughout 2026, starting May 25, June 29, August 3, September 7, October 12, and November 16. Each intake runs for four weeks, Monday to Friday.

What do I need to apply for the TEFL course?

A basic level of English is required. To qualify for guaranteed interviews, you will need a bachelor degree and eligibility for a Thai Non-B visa. All nationalities are welcome to enrol on the course itself.

How quickly can I find a teaching job after the course?

Most graduates begin interviewing before the course ends and move into work within two to three months of completing training. Peak school hiring occurs before the May and October terms.

What if I do not get a job offer after attending interviews?

Our guarantee covers interview placement with hiring schools, not the offer itself. Offers depend on your interview performance, demo lesson, professional appearance, and conduct. If your first interviews do not convert, we provide additional coaching and further introductions. Graduates who follow our guidance on dress, conduct, and demo lesson delivery almost always receive offers within their first three interviews.

What should I wear to a Thai school interview?

Thai schools expect conservative business dress. Men: dark trousers, long-sleeved collared shirt tucked in, tie, and closed leather shoes. Women: knee-length skirt or dark trousers, a blouse with sleeves, and closed shoes. All visible tattoos must be covered. Casual clothing, including jeans or open shoes, will almost always cost you the job.
