Tefl in Krabi

Hello,

Has anyone completed the Tefl course in Krabi (Ao Nang)? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Or perhaps you have participated in another Tefl course in Thailand. I am interested in locations such as Phuket and Krabi.

Cheers!

TEFL Int'l offers a four-week TESOL cert. in Phuket Town. I did it three years ago, stayed in the accomodations, got a job straight away, and still talk to the folks down there. I would reccommend it. No cons, no rip-offs, no funny business. I think the course could be better, but I also know they can be much worse. IMO, Phuket Town is much better than anything in Patong. I've heard of some real Mickey Mouse operations over there.

Also ECC offers a CELTA course in Phuket Town. Although geared for teaching adults, this course is more widely respected around the world for teaching both children and adults. It's harder to complete, but I think you learn more also. Two close friends of mine (one a qualified teacher in the UK) did it two years ago, and speak highly of the experience.

Good luck.
