TEFL Campus Phuket/Chiang Mai

I did a lot of research to know:
1) If I wanted to do a TEFL-course and
2) Where to do a TEFL-course.
After a while I decided to do the course in Phuket.
Pre-course: I had a good and clear contact with Eric. He answered all my questions.
During the course: I learned a lot! I hadn't studies grammar for 12+ years, and some of the grammar was totally new for me. I never saw phonetics in my life before, so that was also something new.
We also had to teach Thai adults. If was stressful, but also fun. Eric and Simon attended us very well!

Phuket Town is a nice place to do the course. It's not supersupertouristy, but in the weekend you can discover the island (or other islands!) During the course I got a bicycle, and I used it a lot!

Overall: I'm happy with my choice, that I did the TEFL-course, and that I did it in Phuket!

I think this is a very effective course to prepare you to teach English to secondary language learners. The course provides not only excellent content, but also live teaching experience. You'll be teaching in classrooms with typically eight or fewer students. This puts what you've learned immediately into practice. I found the teacher practices and reviews especially helpful to improve and gain confidence. The staff are competent, professional, and courteous. The facility is well maintained and conveniently located in Phuket Town with low cost accommodations and plenty of reasonably-priced restaurants located nearby. I gained some friends for life and will always have fond memories of the experience.

It was the best month of my life not just because of the the knowledge that I learned, but because I also got a nice teaching experience with the Thai students. I've made lifelong friends. The course was a bit intimidating but worth it. It made me learn that if you want something and work hard towards it, you can make it. The staff are amazing and always ready and willing to help. Campus is also very central so the location was good. I've met some pretty amazing people in the past month. Great value for money because they really care about you and help you work on your strengths and weaknesses as well.

The TEFL Campus course far exceeded my expectations- though teaching to teach may sound horrendously dull Eric, Simon, Goi and the whole team, made a topic which had the possibility to be horrendously dull was instead an incredibly enjoyable experience! Excellent job support was provided straight away and skills learnt are transferable regardless as to whether you intend to teach immediately post-course or not. An increasing turn towards online teaching may perhaps be addressed more fully but overall I didn't go out of my way to ask any of the instructors so the lack of initiative is not their responsibility. Could not recommend this course more.

Overall I am very glad I chose to do an in-class course. I feel our instructors did a very good job at preparing us for teaching in the classroom. We had plenty of guidance for how to plan lessons and we were able to understand what is involved in a typical english lesson. By the end of the course each student had taught 6 english lessons to local Thai People 16+ years old. In the beginning we were all nervous, but we were able to get past it and all successfully complete the course. This course has a big focus on grammar and phonetics, I personally did not know alot about either subject. The instructors did a good job at teaching us what we needed to know in these areas. The students in my course were very focused and motivated, but we still had time to go out and explore Phuket. This location has many westerners and it is rather easy to find western style food as it is to find Thai food. I was able to make the most of my time in Thailand by going out each week to explore something new. during my four weeks, I went to two beaches, walked up Monkey Hill, found a secret pool bar, went to local bars, a cat cafe, took a cruise to Phi Phi island, and visited an elephant sanctuary. During our course we also were able to learn about Thai culture and some even took Thai language lessons.

Learning is never ending process. We learn everyday but Teaching what you have learnt is a different thing and TEFL course taught me the way.
At first, I wasn’t sure if I had made a good choice by enrolling here but now I know I did made a pretty good decission. It was wonderful experience learning the different ways to teach. My batch mates were very supportive and the staffs were very nice and helpful. Before my course I was exploring other parts of Thailand and during the course I had time to explore Phuket too. Now I work and live here, thanks to TEFL Phuket.

I spent 4 weeks in Onsite TEFL Certification Full Course Package. Overall I would recommend this course. Eric and Simon are professional and were always around to give advice and help.

Before the course I had problems with the visa, but I got prompt full support visa and travel guidance.

I had 6 hours of real teaching practice with Thai students. I enjoyed teaching in different types of classes, to get a feel for what level I may like to teach.

Effective, individualized job support. 2 week after the course I already have a contract at an International School. The TEFL Campus and Eric are well-known in Phuket.

I am currently teaching english in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. I have taught in public schools and am currently teaching at two different language centers part time as well as doing a bit of online teaching during the week. I found it incredibly easy to find work here in Ho Chi Minh and I believe that my TEFL course more than prepared me for my jobs!

Getting my tefl in Phuket Thailand was an absolute DREAM and I would highly recommend this beautiful place. If you are a lover of the slow and laidback island lifestyle, then this place is for you. Take advantage of all the BEAUTIFUL islands and beaches right on your doorstep while taking this course and it will be so rewarding. The last two weeks can get very difficult and stressful as the workload is pretty intense, but there is still plenty of time for a relaxing weekend at Ao Yon beach! Go on trips to Krabi or Phi Phi your first two weekends when the workload is still light, I promise you, you will not regret it.

As someone who can get very nervous and shaky speaking in front of an audience, the chance to teach several of my own class during this course as practice with real students was totally invaluable. I don't think I ever would have been able to get up in front of my first real class without this in-class practice first. And now it is a total breeze. They also make you feel MORE than prepared with your grammar and phonetics.

The instructors are funny and wonderful. They really make you enjoy what you are learning.

I will say that the one negative thing about all this is that for my friends who have stayed behind to teach in Thailand, I have not heard great things about the schools or teaching experience there. Personally I am really enjoying Vietnam, but I've not heard the same from my peers back in Phuket. Might just be the school, but it's something to consider.
