Hi,
I have found a site for a school that does TEFL training in Thailand(www.islandtefl.com) its based in Koh Samui, does anybody know any thing about this school and the course, would it be a reputable one that would allow me to teach in most places or would I come unstuck?
Does anyone know anymore of these schools inThailand?
Many Thanks MJ x

There are many TEFL schools in Thailand. You need only to do a Google search to find at least nine that I know of.

When you are checking schools out consider some of the issues addressed in "How to Choose a TEFL School" at"

Contact schools and ask them questions about their program. You'll be surprised how many won't even answer your questions - or will send you a "canned" answer. Choose accordingly!

Check to see if they're certified there as I don't think they are.

Never heard anything about them to be honest.

Hi sorry, how would I find out if they are certified? Obviously I could ask them but they could surely lie.
Does anyone have any suggestiojns of other Tefl schools in Thailand that are certified and reputable?

Registered with the MoE to teach TEFL courses (not to be confused with being certified purely to teach). Applies to Thai courses etc. as well.
