Going, Going... Gong

2012 Fees (Going, Going… Gong!)
Paradise TEFL Chiang Mai is one of the most affordable accredited hands on TEFL/TESOL training programs in existence today. We offer instructors with a minimum of a master’s degree and years of teaching experience in a variety of settings, from high profile international schools to small rural villages in temples and traditional classrooms throughout Chiang Mai and the United States.
In addition our method of instruction is one of a hands on practical approach as we offer two to three weeks of hands on observed teaching practice as a part of our 30 day Basic TEFL Certification.

Observations_in_action

The end of 2012 will mark our first course fee increase in eight years from 20,000 to 25,000 baht. This is a modest increase of about $160 usd which will take place effective at midnight on December 31st, 2012. The reason for the increase is due to the rising cost of living and related administrative fees in the area as prices for rent, minimum wage and consumables rise with the influx of the ASEAN Union and as more and more Thai Nationals continue to seek a higher standard of living that can be found in and around Chiang Mai province and the South East Asian region in general.

Now_and_then


The good news is you can still attend the 2013 courses at the old 2012 price as long as you register and pay your deposit before the final countdown of New Years 2012. At this time all
 Paradise TEFL Certification Programs offer up to eight advanced certifications (such as TOEFL, IELTS, and TEYL) at the SAME PRICE as our basic TEFL/TESOL certification!

The advanced course provides additional English Language teaching certifications and is offered in tandem with our site courses in and Chiang Mai Thailand, and Mexico as well as a special summer course in Portland, Oregon or as a complete series of online modules some with a virtual practice teaching option. In order to become a TEFL Trainer, you should have already completed a TEFL, TESOL or CELTA course first in order to be eligible and teaching experience is necessary. (Our Basic TEFL on-site program provides 2 to 3 weeks of hands on observed teaching practice to help our teachers to effectively develop their skills).

All courses are fully accredited and you will receive a certificate of completion, which is internationally recognized and accepted when you graduate from the course. Many of those who already have experience as TEFL instructors are finding that becoming a certified TEFL trainer is another opportunity and feather in their cap in terms of meeting the demand of TEFL instructors (who are leaving their home countries and working abroad) by teaching others how to teach TEFL effectively.

Graduates with these additional certifications have the advantage of substantially increasing their marketability and employment status. Improve your chances of getting a good job with a higher level of pay by enrolling today!
