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

Today's Teachers Are Embracing AI
Students are growing up in the digital age. They are increasingly acquainted with AI through language translation apps or interactive language learning platforms.
At Vantage TEFL, we are already teaching the power of AI. We show our trainee teachers how to incorporate AI tools into their observed teaching practices.
One example is Twee—an AI tool designed specifically for English language teachers. It allows educators to create a wide variety of tailor-made tasks and activities. Exercises that are specific to a pre-defined CEFR English proficiency level.
Vantage TEFL trainees are not only practicing how to teach in a real classroom, they are also learning how to create AI-generated exercises and activities, saving both their time and engaging their students in more successful classes.

Vantage TEFL Certification—Two TEFL Course Options
Option 1: The 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 #1 worldwide as the Top TEFL Course in 2018 in the Community Choice Awards. We were a Winner again in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Option 2: The Vantage Combined (Hybrid) Course
Vantage's Hybrid Combined Course gives you the best of both worlds.
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.
Knowing Does Not Make You Skilled
The practicum—Observed Teaching Practices (OTPs)—is where knowledge is transformed into teaching skills.
Skills are applied knowledge that can only be developed through practice. That’s why live practice teaching is critical, especially for new teachers. It's the heart and soul of a professional-class TEFL program.
Trainees teach non-English speaking students in a live classroom—a minimum of 6 class hours—each lesson on a different language topic.
You get valuable feedback from our experienced trainers after each session as your new teaching skillset begins to develop.
All Vantage TEFL programs include a practicum of six (6) observed teaching practices.
Some providers shortcut this most logistically intense part of a TEFL course by offering just 2 or 3 OTPs. Don't accept less.
