About TEFLworld

What we do...

TEFLworld is a certified school authorized to provide TEFL training and to issue certificates. Those who wish to work as teachers in Thailand will find our creditation with the MoE invaluable in obtaining work permits and teacher licences.

TEFLworld also works closely with local schools in an attempt to improve the level of English spoken by the next generation and the quality of English teaching available to students in the area.

What does being certified by the Ministry of Education mean?

In order for any educational institution to conduct training courses of any description it must be validated by an external body. This is important! Otherwise the qualification is meaningless. TEFLworld has full authorization from such an external body. More importantly the external body in question is the national Ministry of Education. It is the only meaningful creditation available in Thailand.
Creditation is a complicated process that few schools attempt let alone complete. It is rigorous and indepth. Many criteria must be met and adhered to not only initially but on a continual ongoing process.

We are recognised as having achieved and maintained the standards necessary to issue certificates that are recognised in any country. What does this mean to you? Simply, that on graduation from a TEFLworld TEFL course you are entitled to seek employment in any educational establishment anywhere in the world.
