TEFL Course Assessment

Our Entrust TEFL teacher training course is rated at 140 hours. We deliver the full traditional 120 hours of training plus 20 additional hours of “specialized teaching disciplines” for teaching English for specific purposes, such as how to teach Business English, how to teach science or math, how to teach English online, and other disciplines to allow our student graduates to lead the way.

During the training program, our students also undergo Thai cultural training which includes a full day of cultural orientation, Thai language lessons, two days of trips to local temples and national landmarks so they can better assimilate into the Thai culture and identify better with their students once placed at the schools throughout Thailand. The TEFL training course is three weeks long at eight (plus) hours a day Monday – Friday. Attending a three-week course will be more intensive as we are training eight (plus) hours a day rather than the traditional six hours a day of a four-week course.

However, you will be doing the same training in less time, which will allow you to save money during the training and start earning income as a Teacher in Thailand a week earlier. The TEFL course is assessed in three main categories; Theoretical knowledge, which the knowledge of the training material and concepts. Practical knowledge, which is the implementation of those concepts, putting them together successfully teaching four full 50-minute teaching practice sessions and teacher administration projects such as the creation of a one-term course outline and the creation of two quizzes and one midterm exam from the course books we provide. Real-world knowledge is producing all of these skills during the three full days of teaching practice and observation at a real school to real learners of English as a second language in Thailand.

Origin of Our Teacher Training Course

Entrust was created in Irvine California to provide ESL training to emerging countries in Asia. In sending teachers from the United States to Asian countries, Entrust saw a tremendous need for quality teachers for placement so our headquarters was moved from the United States of American to Thailand to fill this need locally. Established under, the United States / Thailand Amity Treaty.

This was done to provide a solid foundation for credibility, not only as an educational partner in Thailand but a solid trustworthy legal institution. After moving to Thailand it relied heavily on local and international teacher training companies, however found that these TEFL / TESOL graduates neither had any idea how to conduct classrooms, conduct teacher administrative duties, teach in actual classrooms nor knowledge of the local culture. Thus, Entrust created its own teacher training division (Entrust TEFL) to ensure each teacher was properly trained prior to enter a classroom. In our ongoing efforts to provide unsurpassed teacher training programs in Thailand, we belong to a number of professional organizations to keep us on the cutting edge of education, such as the International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language. Entrust TEFL is currently the only TEFL company licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education for TEFL / TESOL teacher training. Our academic advisory board is made up of both Thai and foreign experts in the field of education to externally maintain that our program not only meets but surpasses International TEFL/TESOL standards. Awarded the BEST TEFL provider in Thailand (foreign or domestic) during the 2016 Educational awards from the Thai Ministry of Education and a host of other educational and management awards over the past few years is a testament that we are in fact “the best” at what we do. Entrust TEFL has become a respected brand recognized around the world as an educational leader with our graduates currently working in over 20 countries.
