I just finished the in-class course in Bangkok today, and I must say that Vantage is a *FIVE STAR* school. If you’re looking to get your TEFL certification and work abroad—especially in Bangkok—this is the place for you!
The real superstars of the organization were Chris, Kevin, and Adam. I learned so much from these incredible individuals, and I know you will too!
Chris was the main educator for the majority of my lessons, and wow—what a brilliant man! His knowledge of English is simply exquisite. Chris’ lessons were never boring. In fact, they were fun, interesting, and incredibly straightforward. And can we talk about his witty banter? You’ll love it as much as I did! He has a way of making learning both entertaining and enlightening with real-life examples that pique your interest and, honestly, leave you giggling.
Despite the class running from 9:30 a.m. to around 3 or 4 p.m., the well-timed breaks and lunches made sure the days never felt long or dull.
The course itself was extremely thorough. We learned how to create fail-proof lesson plans that ensure smooth, productive classes. Plus, we had multiple opportunities to teach various age groups. The school placements were a fantastic experience—the students were lovely, and the teaching practice helped boost my confidence, gave me invaluable experience, and allowed me to interact with the locals in Bangkok.
On the professional side, I was offered a job and secured a placement even before the course ended! The course director, Kevin, played a huge role in helping me with that. His résumé and interview prep lessons were spot on—he really nailed what employers are looking for in applicants. I especially appreciated the sales and marketing aspect he incorporated into the course. Now I know how to stand out from other teachers in the job market.
One amazing perk is that even after you finish the course, Kevin is still available to help you find a job.
I researched a lot of TEFL programs, and I’m so glad I chose this one. I feel fully prepared to start working in just a few weeks. Thank you, Vantage team!
