Living and Teaching in Phuket

TEFL Course Accommodation in Phuket

Our TEFL course is located within walking distance to at least four great accommodation options, with one other being close but more suitable for someone who plans to rent transportation. Of course there are other options but these are the options we feel offer the most value for money.

All rooms are private and available for 1 or 2 people; you can choose to have one queen bed or two single beds. With the exception of Phuket Guesthouse, all rooms has wi-fi, air conditioning, hot water, a small fridge, a television, and a hot water kettle for tea/coffee.

Staying true to Thailand, Phuket Town and our surrounding area offers more food stalls, cafes and restaurants than you can imagine. There are also plenty of Western food outlets as well. Phuket Town also has quite a few markets and grocery stores where you can buy snacks and drinks to bring back to your room.

The King’s Park is also nearby and offers a large area for recreation, people watching, chilling out or working out. It’s got a large pond with two running tracks that take you around the park. There are basketball and badminton courts, as well as small soccer/football fields and even some organized aerobics sessions in the early evening.

Thai clubs and western style pubs dot the city and you’re never too far away from the action. You cannot expect the same scene as what’s found in Phuket’s main tourist city of Patong, but that’s why so many long-term expats choose to stay in Phuket Town rather than in Patong and along the West Coast.

There are also quite a few activities in and around Phuket Town. There are two weekend markets, a fresh market, walking tours, parks, sports facilities, a few local view points and plenty of natural scenery.

From Town, you can venture off to any one of Phuket beautiful beaches. Sun, sand and surf is definitely one of Phuket’s attractions.

TEFL COURSE SCHEDULES

Our 4-week TEFL certification course in Phuket is offered 10 times a year. Every five weeks we start a new course and each course finishes on the Friday of the 4th week. We conduct lectures in the mornings, guided lesson planning in the afternoon, and observed teaching practice in the evenings. On Fridays, you’re always finished by 12.00 so you can enjoy the weekend.

Our Combined TEFL certification course starts with 60 hours of online study that you’ll complete according to your own schedule (6-month time limit). Once finished, you’ll join us in Phuket for classroom study and teaching practice. This is also offered 10 times a year. Start dates for the onsite component coincide with the start dates for the 4-week courses, but you’ll only need to attend for 10 days. While you’re welcome to join all the lectures the 4-week course offers, it’s not required for some lectures. You’ll either observe experienced teachers teaching, or conduct your teaching practice each day of the course (Except Friday of Week 1).

Classroom study starts each day at 9.00 or 9.30 and finishes at 12.00 or 12.30. Guided lesson planning is held from 13.30 to 16.00. Teaching practicum and observations come in two blocks: early (16.30 to 18.30) or late (18.30 to 20.00).
