TEFL Teacher Training in Bangkok, Thailand
New Teachers are Born in the Classroom

Vantage TEFL Certification—Two TEFL Course Options
Option 1: 100% In-Person Vantage In-Class Course
Vantage's 120-hour In-Class Course lasts four weeks and has six key areas of study.
You learn both teaching theory and how to facilitate your lessons through the communicative approach to language teaching—the international standard, which is being adopted by Thailand's Ministry of Education for Thai English teachers kingdom-wide.
We strongly believe in learning by doing. In this on-site course, you will teach real students under observation for at least 6 hours in our practicum.
Vantage was ranked #1 worldwide as the Top TEFL Course in the 2018 Community Choice Awards—and we've been a winner every year since.
Option 2: The Vantage Combined (Hybrid) Course
Vantage's Hybrid Combined Course offers the best of both worlds: 50% online training and 50% in-person teaching practice.
In Phase One, your online study of the coursebook—with full tutor support—will concentrate on teaching theory and best practices.
Then in Phase Two, you will do observed teaching practices (OTPs)--the practicum where you’ll teach non-English speaking students in a real Thai classroom.
The practicum is where your course knowledge is transformed into the teaching skill set you'll need to be successful in the classroom.
Turning Knowledge into Skill: The Power of Practicum
The practicum—Observed Teaching Practices (OTPs)—is where theory becomes real teaching skill. Skills aren’t just learned; they’re built through hands-on experience.
That’s why live classroom practice is essential, especially for new teachers. It’s the core of any professional-grade TEFL course.
At Vantage TEFL, trainees teach real non-English speaking students for at least six hours, covering different language topics in each session. After every class, you’ll receive detailed feedback from experienced trainers to help you grow your teaching abilities.
All Vantage programs include six observed teaching practices—no shortcuts. Some courses offer only 2 or 3, but for real preparation, don’t settle for less.
