Professional Recruiters Wanted
We are looking for professional organizations or sales savvy individuals who wish to become Vantage TEFL agents targeting potential TEFL candidates (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) who wish to begin a career teaching English overseas.
We offer three separate TEFL certification programs:
-
In-Class Course—100% onsite. 120 hours of course instruction and 6 hours of observed practice teaching (OTPs)
-
Combined Course—50% online/50% onsite where you will do your OTPs in a real school.
-
Virtual Vantage—100% online and you do you OTPs online in a virtual classroom.
After training, we can place ourt TEFL graduates in good teaching jobs at reputable schools with our partner companies who are typically recruiting hundreds of teachers every year in Thailand, throughout Asia and around the world.
Vantage is an Easy Sell
Vantage TEFL Certification is the Bangkok training center for TEFL International (TI)—a network of 30 centers in 20 countries on 5 continents—that has issued 32,000+ TEFL certificates since 1998.
Our curriculum and course book have been developed and revised by specialist ESL educators. It trains thousands of new teachers around the world every year and has been independently accredited by independent universities.
TEFL International is the only 4 week TEFL/TESOL certificate course fully accredited through an American university—Lamar University in Texas, USA. Vantage graduates earn three bachelor's level credits.
We have highly satisfied graduates. According to the definitive TEFL review site, teflcoursereview, Vantage is ranked #1 in all three TEFL categories—onsite, online and combined—on which these programs are assessed.
In the 2018 GoOverseas Community Choice Awards, Vantage was #1 worldwide in the Overall Top TEFL Course Provider category out of their 500+ listings. In the 2019 awards,Vantage increased its award take by ranking first place in two categories: Instruction and in Value. And we were a winner again in 2020.
Finally, in Davis Pisarich’s book, Teaching in Thailand, he named Vantage the best TEFL program in Bangkok “by far.”
Perhaps we're doing something right.
Key Markets Targeted
The ideal TEFL candidate will be a native English speaker (NES) who is educated to the bachelor’s level in any major. Those are the two overriding qualifications required. There can be a lot of flexibility on other factors.
Non-native English speakers (NNES) can also be targeted provided they have a high level of English proficiency. We define this as at least a C1 level on the CEFR scale which is the industry standard for measuring English abilities across all four language skills.
Potential TEFL candidates will often be young—recent or near college graduates who may be pursuing a teaching career. Or they may be doing a gap year or two as they have yet to decide on a career path following their education. Or they're a bit older and doing a career change into the teaching profession.
Increasingly, the business world values overseas cultural experiences so teaching abroad for a few years can provide both adventure and a pragmatic path to better non-teaching job opportunities back home.
The demand for English teachers has never been higher. The British Council estimates that by 2020, some 2 billion people will speak English as a first or second language.
You may have your own ideas on other segments and/or methods to successfully target TEFL candidates. We'd love to hear them!
Who's an NES?
In Thailand, that’s usually defined by the nationality of the teacher. The following nationalities are considered to have NES status:
-
The United Kingdom
-
The United States of America
-
Australia
-
New Zealand
-
Republic of Ireland
-
Canada
-
South Africa
Those are the key ‘broad’ markets where you'll find NES TEFL candidates. The segments would include universities and other areas where you think you could find new teacher trainees.
What We're Looking For
Our ideal recruiter will have the following skills and/or background.
-
Previous sales and marketing experience.
-
Social media savvy
-
Methodical in your approach.
-
Have current access to key markets through organizations or institutions like universities.
-
Or other skills/attributes you think would make you successful.
