DEGREE
Degree - Basic qualification for Teaching English in Thailand
A bachelor’s degree in any field is the most basic qualification of a teacher as stipulated by the Thai Ministry of Education. In the eyes of Thai employers, a qualified teacher has a bachelor's degree, a TEFL certificate (or similar) and some experience. In reality, if you have just one or two of these qualifications, you probably won't be turned away. A bachelor’s degree of 4 years is often equivalent to some 3 years diploma in certain countries that assures work permit in Thailand ensuring legal employment. However, due to the dire need of English speaking teachers, some schools are forced to hire even those who do not have a degree, provided you are a smart and presentable farang (white). Adding on the credentials, a TEFL certificate makes you more employable in the eye of the majority of employers

TESTIMONIALS
-
I heard great things about this TESOL course from 4 different people who went through it last year. I have always wanted to travel and teach, so this program was perfect for me. -
After looking at other programs in Thailand, I found ACT was offering the lowest price. Also, Kiersten and I came together and her friends had previously done the ACT program and they had nothing but good things to say about the program. -
The ACT program seemed to be a great way to receive hands on training. It was a great learning experience. Sangeeta and Pak did a great job throughout and I was continually impressed with them and how professional the company was.
