About Program

ITTT’s In-Class Bangkok TEFL course is located in the center of the Thai academic market. There are more teaching jobs in metropolitan Bangkok than all the remaining top ten Thai Cities combined. Bangkok positions typically pay better as its home to Thailand’s most prestigious and innovative language schools.

The ITTT Bangkok course takes place in a language school that is also an authorized Cambridge English examination centre. A 120-hour course with six hours of observed teaching practice, it employs three specialist trainers and covers key areas of teaching methodology and techniques. Our jobs coach spends time one-on-one with all course participants to develop resumes, and offers coaching on effective interview techniques. Also included is a foreign language component by a bilingual teacher trainer.

ITTT TEFL Online Course

Super friendly Team from ITTT Center, very helpful and always there when you need them. Course was nicely design and I really liked the online option to do it at my own pace/time. Learned a lot and great quality of support materials afterwards to help in the teaching career. Once I have the chance I'll do the additional course with a specialization on how to teach online as my goal is to teach young learners online. I did some live teaching in Thailand and the course really helped me in preparation of classes and teaching materials. Thank you ITTT, highly recommend.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Durian, Thai fruit that smells bad, to be honest, didn't like it.

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.

From an Online Student

I was working full time so I couldn’t take the time off to do a month long course. Instead, I did iTTT’s Combined Course, where you do the book online and then you do your actual teaching practices in a real classroom.

The first part is the online completion of 20 units of the course curriculum as well as doing one lesson plan.

I then traveled to Thailand to do my observed teaching practices over a ten-day period at iTTT’s Bangkok center in the north of the city. This is where I taught in front of non-English speaking students in a real classroom setting. Importantly I got detailed feedback from Vantage’s trainers for each session I taught.
Each of my six teaching practices had to be on a different language topic. That meant I had to formulate a separate language plan for each practice session. Afterward, I got invaluable feedback on before I stepped into the classroom. While I did have to get on approved in the online portion of the Combined Course, it was getting this six approved by Vantage that really honed my talents.

This part of my course—the practicum—was invaluable. While I had a lot of knowledge from doing the course book online, it was really the real teaching where I developed the skills I needed to be successful in a classroom. It was a big help in that Thai students are great to teach as they are attentive and are very polite.

I just wish that I had the time to do the In-Class Course rather than the Combined Course version. After sitting in on some of the center’s lessons—and insights the trainer gave us which wasn't in the book, I realized what I missed by doing only the book on my own.

Overall a really great and fun experience. I highly recommend this course.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Where we did some of our practice teaching was at a volunteer organization that helps resettle refugees. Our Thai students insisted that we (and they) eat before we taught. It was here I got to sample a lot of great Thai curries and the infamous Durian—something I quickly fell in love with.

Response from ITTT TEFL

Hi Tim, thanks for reviewing the 10-day combined course with observed teaching practice in Bangkok.

Finding a full month of free time to take an in-class course is a hassle for many. It's great that you were able to find a couple of weeks to get OTP training in Bangkok.

Please make sure to make use of the free online course and qualification that was included with your purchase. Contact ITTT's staff at any time in the future if you need any assistance.

A new vision

The courses at ITTT gave me a new vision because before I took them,I assumed everything was too simple for anyone to understand.I only began seeing how wrong I was after taking the course at ITTT. I came to be sensitive to the fact that learning a new language can be challenging and if the teacher wasn't kind and patient,it would lead to discouragement and overall surrender on the part of the student.I began making my lessons more fun,and learned new ways of explaining a concept to bring it to the level of the learner.In the process of breaking information down to it's very basic application,I learned more than I expected.Needless to say,my employers are impressed!

What would you improve about this program?
I would love for job placements to be much more efficient for example,sending links to schools which need ESL teachers.
