Accredited TEFL Course Thailand
Accredited TEFL courses are an important benchmark! Think of TEFL or TESOL accreditation as quality control with ongoing evaluation and constant improvement that is being continually reviewed by external bodies. The proper accreditation plays a vital role for recruiters looking to ensure that the training you received meets satisfactory levels of quality that are recognized worldwide. Choosing an accredited TEFL course will ensure you receive the proper professional training that will provide you with the skills and guidance you will need to follow your dreams of working abroad as a teacher.
Entrust TEFL is an internationally accredited TEFL course by the World TEFL Accrediting Commission holding the accreditation number #567755TH24 which is very high on the list of accredited TEFL courses. World TEFL Accrediting Commission is one of the best independent TEFL or TESOL accrediting bodies available today. Based in New York, United States of America WTEFLAC has grown to one of the most respected accrediting organizations through their globally accepted high standards which ensure professional accreditation of TEFL or TESOL providers worldwide. The International TEFL accreditation provided by WTEFLAC provides another layer of assurance that your Entrust TEFL certificate will be accepted by schools and recruiters worldwide.
Accredited TEFL Course Thailand
As strange as it sounds, most TEFL or TESOL companies are not Internationally accredited and about half hold a lesser accreditation for an online course ($49/year) as it is cheaper with little to no questions asked. The other half simply accredit themselves by creating their own TESOL or TEFL accreditation websites or partnering with other TEFL or TESOL providers to simply provide accreditation to each other rather than just improving their training programs. TEFL accreditation is good as it allows for constant improvement and the proper accreditation plays a vital role for recruiters looking to ensure that the training you received meets satisfactory levels of quality that are recognized worldwide.
Entrust TEFL Company Business Registration Document
Think of company registration as the sturdy foundation of any business or any type of TEFL accreditation. Holding a company registration should be the most basic element for an ongoing business so rest assured, Entrust TEFL is a fully registered and bonded company holding the registration number #0105548105158 with three permanent locations in Thailand. Being a legally registered business, this does not only mean that we pay taxes and are subject to its laws, but it also means that as a consumer you have the peace of mind to know that we are fully bonded, insured and all our employees are working legally.
Entrust TEFL was registered in 2002 under the American / Thailand treaty and has grown to become the best TEFL provider and secondary education company in Thailand today.
As strange as that sounds, most TEFL or TESOL providers in Thailand are not legally registered businesses. Most operate purely as a website and rent conference rooms at a hotel or resort to provide the training. If they are not a legally registered business, there is zero legitimacy and zero consumer protection. A good way to identify one of these companies is that no physical location information will be present on their website as they are hiding from local authorities and certainly not an accredited TEFL Course.
Entrust Teaching Language Educational School Licensing
I think you would agree if you are providing training of any kind that results in a certification you should be licensed to do so otherwise your training and completion certificate will hold no real value. Entrust TEFL is also ISO certified to legally certify our graduates. Being licensed ensures that the training curriculum being used has been reviewed and approved by a relevant educational body, the training location has been inspected for health, safety, and provides a spacious and professional environment to conduct the training as well as go towards TEFL accreditation. Just like in any country worldwide the school, college, or university is licensed, regulated, and monitored by educational and governmental bodies to ensure that professional standards are being met and maintained, a TEFL or TESOL training school is no different.
A language school license is the first step toward becoming a licensed TEFL or TESOL school in Thailand. The language school license takes about three years to complete as it involves engineers ensuring that your training facility and student areas are fully up to code with health and safety. During this time the Thai Ministry of Education is also meeting with your staff, reviewing your course outlines, course curriculums, daily lesson plans, grading, course books, course activities, tests, exams, quizzes, or anything you would possibly hand to a student at your language school for each level for their approval.
Entrust "Teach English as a Foreign Language" Teacher Training Licensing
Once you have successfully been granted a license by the Thai Ministry of Education to be a language school to teach Thai nationals English or other skills you can start the process to become a licensed school to teach non-Thai nationals as your typical TEFL or TESOL student is NOT a Thai national, which is straightforward and less lengthy of a process as your training facility itself has already been approved. Becoming licensed to conduct TEFL or TESOL training follows the same process of having the Thai Ministry of Education meet with your trainers, go over their qualifications, ensure that the TEFL students have access to photocopy machines, teaching equipment, rest areas, and other improvements needed for foreign students. During that process, the Teachers Council of Thailand and Ministry of Education review your TEFL training outline, TEFL course curriculum, daily lesson plans, grading, course books, test, exams, quizzes, or anything that could possibly be seen by your TEFL students. They also must review how you will be teaching Thai culture and how you will be conducting real-world training and observation at local schools. Once they have approved your TEFL course and all its content you have successfully been granted a license to conduct TEFL or TESOL teacher training. I truly hope that more TEFL or TESOL schools seek legitimate licensing to conduct the training in the near future, but at this time only two companies hold such licensing in Thailand which should be certainly part of any accredited TEFL course.
Entrust TEFL is one of the few TEFL training providers that is licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education, monitored by the Teachers Council of Thailand to train and certify TEFL or TESOL teachers holding the license number of #CM 01-005-2529. Entrust TEFL being both a legally registered company and fully licensed to conduct teacher training ensures that the Entrust TEFL Certificate given upon completion of the course fully satisfies the legal requirements of a 140-hour TEFL course and is recognized by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a legitimate TEFL or TESOL training program worldwide.
Unbelievably, most TEFL or TESOL providers in Thailand do not hold a license to conduct TEFL or TESOL training and merely operate as unregistered training centers with no licensing or supervision from the educational sector. Most TEFL companies claim to be licensed, endorsed, certified, approved, or best buddies of the Ministry of Education and to conduct TEFL training, however a language school license only allows them to teach Thai nationals, Not foreigners or Westerners of which the average TEFL or TESOL class is comprised. Some TEFL companies even show a copy of a language school license on their website which is not in their name. I don’t know about you, but if you tell me you have a license for something shouldn’t that license be in your name?
