Like it or not, English is spoken almost everywhere in the world and those who come from a non-English speaking country have little choice but to learn the language. The business arena demands a level of English proficiency, so all high school students try hard to use English whenever possible. Of course, English is widely spoken as a second language; most European citizens can speak English, also in Scandinavia; Asian, and South American countries still have a high demand for English teachers.
Global Reach
If you are TEFL-certified, you can work to fund your traveling and that is a feather in your cap that can really open doors. South East Asia is a great region to get some real-life experience of other cultures and for many young travellers taking the TEFL course in Chiang Mai makes perfect sense. The course is proactive and you get to meet like-minded people who are also looking to hone their language teaching skills.
Global Connectivity
We are living in a digital age and that means people can enjoy Zoom calls all over the world and that has boosted the demand for English teachers. There is an affordable TEFL course Chiang Mai offers at its leading academy, where they guarantee you work once you are certified. Young people taking their gap year can book a TEFL course for when they arrive in Thailand and they can look forward to a fun course, then a placement in a Thai school, which offers a great experience.
TEFL Certification
In the language teaching world, TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) is a globally recognized qualification that will be with you for the rest of your life. This is one great way to fund your travel experience, plus when you are teaching at a local school, you gain valuable insight into the local culture. If you would like to learn more about the TEFL course, Google will take you to an established academy in the northern part of Thailand and you can browse their website.
Work Guarantee
This is the great thing about taking the TEFL in Thailand; the academy guarantees you a placement at a Thai school, and that means you can plan your trip, knowing that you have gainful employment. There are not many language teaching institutions that offer a work placement guarantee and with experienced TEFL instructors, you will quickly develop essential teaching skills. Make an inquiry and book your place on the next course, then you can plan your trip.

You do not need to have any prior qualifications to take the TEFL course. If you are a native English speaker, you have the basics and the trainers will develop your teaching skills. The course is demanding and you have full peer support; the course curriculum includes:

Courses are scheduled often and you should be able to book the course dates that suit you, while the TEFL academy will facilitate your accommodation and await your arrival.
