Overview
New TEFL Teachers Development Course in Thailand

This Thai TEFL course aims specifically at those with an on-line TEFL qualification or previous TEFL qualification, who have little or no classroom experience and want to refresh their skills before embarking on a teaching position overseas. This TEFL course gives you the opportunity to teach in local education centres and other venues in the Ao Luk district of Thailand, where 20, 50 and 100 hour TEFL courses are being facilitated. GVI’s experienced teachers and teacher trainers will assist and guide you towards being independent in your preparation and classroom work, to get you to a level that you'd feel confident teaching anywhere in the world. At the end of the course a job placement service assists you (but does not guarantee) in finding paid work overseas.

After my time in Thailand with GVI I took a job nearby. The pay is enough and I'm learning so much and living in Thailand, teaching everyday and exploring on the weekends. This is a dream come true!
