Professional Job Services

It was only 4 short weeks, but I don’t think ever learned so much in so little time. This TEFL course was intensive, but it was engaging and fun throughout. We were guided each step of the way.

For me, the heart and soul of the training part of the program were the observed teaching practices. But before we even stepped into a classroom, we had to learn how to formulate a professional lesson plan. That included defining learner objectives, teacher aims, and complete lesson procedure under the ESA methodology, which we were taught beforehand.

And before I was given feedback for the trainers, I was asked to complete a self-evaluation form. After that, I got detailed feedback on my teaching session. That’s was a key component in the development of my teaching skills.

I was always given a challenge for my next class—in areas the trainers thought I still needed to work on. The bottom line is that I’m now ready to step into any classroom and successfully teach English.

Equally good was the superb help Vantage provided on securing me a teaching position. They have a separate “Jobs Coach” trainer who sat with me and we created my own individual Power Resume and cover letter. The class was coached on interviewing skills and then we had access into Vantage’s network of schools and recruiting services.

All of us had interviews arrange the last week of the course and I accepted a great teaching job with a week of graduation. I also watch the Jobs Coach help alums who already completed their first year of teaching but wanted assistance in new job placements.

If you want a career in teaching—and access to some of the best teaching positions in Thailand—this is your team.
