Teaching English in Thailand :

What you will (probably) need to be or need to have
in order to become a legal teacher in 2009

With the help of one of Bangkok's top teacher recruiters and a few contacts
at the Thailand Ministry of Education and The Teacher's Council of Thailand,
ajarn.com has come up with the following information regarding what will be
involved if you want to teach legally in Thailand as of mid-May 2009 (
the start of the next academic year).

Please be aware that this information is correct as of 14th May 2008
and we've deliberately used the word 'probably' in the title -
simply because this is Thailand and overnight changes are part and parcel of life here.

There are THREE types of applicant
and FOUR methods to apply for a teachers' license.

on this time last year.

Obviously he could only come at this from the angle of how many applications
he's received over the past six years but he feels it could be as much as 50% down.

It's certainly a teachers' market out there!

My main line of work is providing and managing foreign teachers
for several schools in Pathumthani province (just Northeast of Bangkok)
