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 no idea how to conduct classrooms, conduct teacher administrative duties, teach in actual classrooms nor knowledge of local culture. Thus, Entrust created its own teacher training division (Entrust TEFL) to ensure each teacher was properly trained prior to entering 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 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 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.
