Hi Everyone,
EFL Greg here! Just posting to give you youngsters planning to teach in Thailand some tips. This first post is about choosing the right course. If you google TEFL Thailand (the most popular choice of key words) a whole bunch of course providers will come up. Well, how do you know which one to go for? Price? Location? Course? Or a combination of all?
We'll look at them all later, but the most important thing you need to be warned of is that there are a lot of illegitimate companies out there. They may well be just trying to get your money and providing the bare minimum in terms of service. So how are you going to know which ones are genuine and which ones are not? The first thing is don't be fooled by flashy websites and testimonials on their own site. So ....
Rule Number One - Always google for reviews of that school. In today's internet age, there will almost certainly be stuff out there. And it may give a completely different impression from what the website gives. It's amazing just how many people take a company's website on face value, and don't check it out further.
Watch out for my next post!
