Destinations TEFL-Cambodia

Without really knowing what was going to happen at the end of the course, my son and I just packed our bags and traveled to Siem Reap-Cambodia, in March 2023. DT promised to deliver and did just that. I had an adventure of my life not only in class but also outside of class. I have met people from different parts of the world and made some life long friends.
I am now more confidant of looking for work any where in South East Asia, and not just in Cambodia because of my Destinations TEFL certificate.
I will always remember my experience @Destinations TEFL-CambodiaI.

Pros
  • Money spent was worth it. Lots of materials to cover
  • Program well suited for everyone, especially those who do not have teaching background.
  • Actual teaching practicals were great exposure.
Cons
  • Climate- was quite hot for some of us.
  • Trying to do boarder run through Poipet to renew visa was quite challenging

July class

I just recently finished the course and was very satisfied about everything- our Teacher Angie was just superb - going extra mile for after class grammar lesson.
Willie always available to help with what ever information we needer outside class aswell. Found our feet alot faster and great to make friends for a life time! All the information they have been providing about visa and interviews, job placement has been super helpful.
I am very excited to see what the future holds in Cambodia for me and my husband.

Dont miss out

So I have recently just finished this course and could bot be happier. I already had a level 5 TEFL but doing something online and having the actual practical experience in a classroom is completely different.
It is more like joining a new family than doing a course. All the staff are exceptional and very supportive.
It is hard work dont get me wrong, but everything they do has purpose to prepare you for the realities of being a teacher.
I've now finished feeling like I could confidently teach anywhere.

Pros
  • Amazing supportive staff
  • Teaching real students in a school
  • Tools to help you become a great teacher
Cons
  • A lot of assignments

Fast Track Option

After completing my level 5 TEFL diploma at an online academy i felt like i was still lacking in a lot of ways. I could not have been more excited when i found Destination TEFL!
They have the best fast track option that adds you to the program for the last 2 weeks to learn all about and take part in classroom practicals. Without Destination TEFL i would not have been ready to start my teaching career.
The tutors, Tina and Chy, are amazing! They are always ready to help you no matter what the question and give such good feedback for you to learn from and to grow.
Thank you Destination TEFL

Destination TEFL Siem Reap

After an exhaustive online search, I stumbled upon Destination TEFL Siem Reap and knew that I had found the TEFL programme that was perfect for me.
From the beginning they gave detailed and honest answers to my many questions which immediately made me feel at ease.
As soon as we had our virtual meeting/Q&A session I was ready to pack my bags and head to Cambodia for the adventure of a lifetime.
The course can be demanding as it packs a lot into four weeks but if you apply yourself, keep on top of your assignments and are well prepared for your teaching practicals, you will succeed.
Along with the hard work you will definitely have time for fun and adventure as you discover more about yourself and the new country you will soon call home.
The Destination TEFL staff and trainers are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and patient. They will guide and encourage you to do your best. The bonds that you form and experiences you share with your fellow trainees will provide you with memories to last a lifetime.

Destination TEFL

If you are looking for a wonderful place to earn a TEFL/TESOL certificate located in a fascinating location look no further. You will not be disappointed with Destination TEFL in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The trainer Tina is a wonderful educator, I don't have enough good words to describe her. Make no mistake, this course is difficult, you will need to use your time wisely. Nothing that is worth anything is easy! Buckle down, do the work, make some great friends from around the globe, and enrich the lives of wonderful children.

What are you waiting for?!

Sometimes you just look back and think, I regret doing this, but I don’t regret a thing with DestinationsTEFL. They were professional till the end. What this means is the people at DestinationsTEFL run a tight ship, you are expected to follow the rules and not make a mess of the training center nor yourself.They put in effort and assisted when things became stressful, like when my visa was not going to go through. They went with me to the immigration offices and talked to the officials. They kept track of all my business regarding my work and stay visas. Honestly I can’t recommend them enough. So what are you waiting for? Just apply

What was your funniest moment?
One day our Trainer Tina had us play a game based on question and answer for you to find a person who shares one of your experiences. The experience was based on cloths you’ve worn. This trainer goes up to the big burly American and wanting to show what happens if you have a experience that doesn’t match ask him: “have you ever worn a thong” the class erupts and goes bananas! The thing was after we all stoped laughing he looked appalled. Apparently not due to the question, because this man just replies, with the honesty of a saint, “yes I have”. Never in my life have I seen a trainer so taken aback and a class go this crazy. I still tease him about it. Best moment ever

Destination TEFL really do put you in a position where you feel comfortable to teach abroad.
They introduce you to the culture and you always feel like you are in a healthy environment

Well done Destination TEFL and thank you for the experience!
