The TEFL Course

Unlike all other TEFL courses, you will undergo a 40 hour, iTEFL online course as soon as you are accepted on the program. This means you will have completed most of the grammar and theory modules before you arrive on Koh Samui, which also means you will enjoy a more relaxed learning experience on the island.

This allows you to focus on the more practical aspects of the TEFL course such as teaching practice. You also benefit from more free time to chill out and embrace this amazing tropical paradise!

This TEFL certificate course is split into two components. You will first complete a 40 hour online TEFL course before arrival and the onsite component of the course is conducted over a 2-week period, Monday to Friday of each week. Classes run from 9.00am to 3.00pm each day and evenings & weekends are free to enjoy the many attractions or to just chill on a deserted beach.

The complete course comprises 120 hours, including up to 6 hours teaching practice, which meets international TEFL certification standards. TAT is committed to serving the local community by providing free English lessons to local students who otherwise could not afford them. You will gain some experience teaching in a local Thai school, resort and/or government office. The appreciation shown by the students and the local community should not be underestimated!
