[Ignore What I]

I've only found http://www.eliteinstitute.com/CELTA/index.htm and

http://www.eccthai.com/training/schedule.asp

I just read another post discussing these two. Are there any others? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could share their experiences or pass on a bit of advice.

Hi:

Those are the only 2 CELTA courses offered in Thailand.

For other TEFL course options, please refer to The Master Index Thailand 'sticky post' located
at the very top of this forum; just scroll down to FAQ 11 toward the bottom of the Index!

I don't kow what your circumstances are but the ECC location in Bangkok is conveniently located near shopping malls, movie theatres, restaurants, the sky train and many affordable hotels.

The ECC facility is clean and modern and I think the instructors are good.

I'd recommend that location. I did my CELTA there.

Those CELTA courses are actually the same price as TEFL Int'l TESOL program. I always assumed CELTA programs cost more.

I'd go witha CELTA then for the name brand

University of Cambridge seems to be well known out in Asia because of their English exams.

I'd go with ECC purely because they've been doing it for longer.

Elite also have had to cancel classes in the past due to lack of numbers!
