The teaching practice feedback is especially constructive. (February 2016)

Course materials was easily one of the most important aspects of the course and the staff did a wonderful job providing them for us. (March 2017)

 

The course materials helped immensely and I will be referring to them even while I’m teaching. (February 2017)

 

Every point made had corresponding handouts. (June 2015)

All good, clear and explicit. (July 2019)

It’s a new way of teaching and at first I couldn’t get used to it, but then I found that it provided me with many more efficient ways for me to conduct my lessons in the future (from and experienced teacher, June 2016)

 

Excellent. Came here as one person and left as another! (August 2015)

The support and information has been top notch (January 2019)

 

The willingness to answer job related questions and to assist us with getting in contact with someone in our next destination was amazing. Thank you! (February 2017)

 

You get out of it what you put into it. Efforts are returned in full. (June 2016)

Sakul House is amazing! (November 2016)

 

In terms of quality, location and bang for your buck, absolutely no complaints here. (June 2016, Phuket Center Apts)

If I recommended a TEFL course to my friends, I would insist on them doing it here. (January 2016)

 

One of my friends did an online course and she told me that it didn’t prepare her at all for the real world experience. I think that this on-site course does prepare you more than the online because of the teaching practice. (November 2015)

 

Absolutely. Especially the reputation of the school and its location within Phuket Town. I thought it was awesome. (September 2015)

Everything is here; beaches, authentic Thai culture, night markets… and toilet paper in every bathroom! (May 2015)

TEFL Campus Trainee Dan TEFL Campus Trainees - Teaching English in Phuket, Thailand

“All of the staff at TEFL Campus were very helpful and they placed me in the program that worked best for me. I now feel comfortable teaching a classroom full of students and I have the tools to create lesson plans from scratch and with a clear strategy of how to go about be being a successful teacher in Thailand with the knowledge to be an English teacher for wherever I may go.”

Nidhi, IND
TEFL Trainee Nidhi at Tefl Campus, Phuket, Thailand

“Before the course, I believed that the certificate was just a formality…and anyway what can one possibly learn in four weeks!? I was proved wrong within the first half hour of the first day of the course, when we were handed our minute-by-minute schedule for four weeks. But today, because of the quality of training I received and the amount of hard work I put in, I proudly tell people that I am a TEFL certified teacher.”

February, 2016

Jane, AUS

“Overall a great course, suited to people with or without prior teaching experience. The instructors were fantastic. Their experience is invaluable in helping students become comfortable in teaching their own classes and their deep knowledge of the course content was hugely beneficial in helping students to learn some of the more difficult concepts.

October, 2019

Charlie, USA

“I am an experienced teacher and I wanted to take a TEFL course because I wanted to learn specifically how to teach English as a foreign/second language. The instruction, expectations, lesson planning and teaching experiences far surpassed my expectations, and I feel so much more prepared than I would have been without this knowledge and experience.”

September, 2019

TEFL Trainee Lolly at Tefl Campus, Phuket, Thailand - TEFL Course Reviews

“TEFL Campus Phuket prepares you very thoroughly to be able to set forth and teach abroad. Sure, there is no job guarantee but the support and resources offered are more than enough to find a job. Only two weeks into the course, I had secured a full-time teaching job at an elementary school (to begin when the course finished) simply through the resources provided to me! I am so eternally happy that I didn’t get my TEFL online and did it on location in Thailand.”

April, 2017

Gillian, CAN
TEFL Trainee Gillian at Tefl Campus, Phuket, Thailand - TEFL Course Reviews

“Although there are many places to compete a TEFL certification, Phuket was my final choice based solely on my pre-travel communications with TEFL Campus. The professional quality of correspondence and arrangements for coming to Phuket made the idea of flying across the world alone for the first time accessible to me. “

Wendy, USA
TEFL Trainee Wendy at Tefl Campus, Phuket, Thailand - TEFL Course Reviews

“Prior to choosing a TEFL program I did extensive research that encompassed the full gamut of offerings. Online, on location, cheap, expensive, on site and still at the end of the day it is all somewhat of a gamble. My experience with TEFL Campus Phuket was better than I had could have imagined.”

“The decision to enrol in the TEFL Campus Phuket was one of the best I’ve ever made. It was such an amazing experience and one that I will never forget. (The trainers) are fantastic at what they do, and are so full of knowledge. I have made some lifelong friends, and have experienced many amazing things. All in all I would recommend this course to anyone.”

January, 2017

James, CAN
TEFL Trainee James at Tefl Campus, Phuket, Thailand - TEFL Course Reviews

“I had no experience teaching prior to the course, and was shocked to see how little I knew about English grammar and the implicit details of how to teach specific grammar points. The course provided the right opportunity to address this weakness. I can now confidently and independently plan and lead lessons on English grammar.”

January, 2017

Adam, ENG
TEFL Trainee Adam at Tefl Campus, Phuket, Thailand - TEFL Course Reviews

“When you enter the classroom you recognize the passion (the training staff) have for the English language and this will quickly rub off onto you when delivering your lessons. Importantly you can tell that they want to prepare you for teaching practically in the region and to maintain high standards.”

November, 2017

Jenny, ENG
TEFL Trainee Jenny at Tefl Campus, Phuket, Thailand - TEFL Course Reviews

“The course is known on the island for being good so getting employed is a doddle. Not a bad word to say about the entire experience, we couldn’t recommend them enough. The staff worked tirelessly to ensure we all reached our full potential and you could come to them for advice on life in Phuket, job hunting, or anything else at almost any time of the day or night.”

“I researched many TEFL providers, however, TEFL Campus Phuket really stood out. The trainers were excellent and I must admit that the course was harder than I anticipated, however, it was worth it. I currently live and work in Thailand and I have an amazing job. This would not have been possible without the assistance of TEFL Campus Phuket. I strongly recommend this course provider.”

”Well, they didn’t lie when they said the course was intensive! You need to be passionate about teaching (which I am) to complete this course. You meet people from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities which is good. The staff at TEFL Campus were professional and helpful with lots of support both during the course and afterwards. It can feel a bit overwhelming but if you stick with it will be worth it.”

“Awesome content, awesome staff, awesome program. For having experienced a similar (but longer) program in French, I was extremely surprised and happy how the classes were conducted. The teachers are very professional, very competent and supportive but moreover extremely nice people who know that teaching is not only about inputing knowledge in their students’ brain, but it’s also about having a good time. I actually just passed my TESOL certificate while enjoying an awesome human experience.”
