Testimonials

“I came here for a reset of life and to find new opportunities. I took the Chichester TESOL course on the recommendations of relatives who had taken it in the past. The course itself was made enjoyable by the excellent trainers and Chichester made good on their word in helping me to find a great job here in Bangkok!”

August 2017 course

“I really enjoyed the practical teaching side of this course as well as meeting new people and learning a new skill. The course is set up in a way that there's not really much difficulty but if there is then there are always people on hand to help. The field trips were great and it was very interesting to see how foreign English teachers work with the Thai teachers at schools.”

July 2017 course

“It's a very challenging course but the challenges are mitigated by the trainers who help us out a lot. There are a lot of instructors -- so we got to see different learning styles -- and all of the instructors were very friendly and very helpful. Everyone coming out of the course feels very well prepared to start their first job.”

July 2017 course

“I found out about teaching in Thailand from friends who had previously taken the TESOL course and were successful at it. I found the course easier than I had planned for; the course was broken into steps and once we'd learned one step and achieved from there on out it was very easy.”

Sheldon
May 2017 course

“The first day felt overwhelming and first but the staff made us feel welcome. You get very comfortable very quickly. Thai students are very clever and they really seem to love us being here in Thailand. We've made so many friends and met so many amazing people through the TESOL course.”

Kylie and Layla
March 2017 course

“We came together because it felt safer but we now see that we had nothing to worry about as it's very safe here and the people are so friendly. The course is intensive but you get used to it. Being a teacher seems like it's really easy but it is really not. It is exciting, though! Being in a foreign country and meeting new people is really great.”

Candi & Shay
February 2017 course

“We thought that it would be really easy to be a teacher, but there's a lot of technical stuff that you have to bare in mind. The course definitely helps with this side of things. It's also very well structured and organised as you work through the course modules. The kids on the field trips were adorable and the teachers we met were very friendly.”

Calvin & Jana
February 2017 course

“I enjoyed going on the excursions and seeing just how great the childrens' desire to learn English really is. The course was challenging but it went very well. Everyone that I worked with was passionate about teaching and helping me to do my best.”

John Tyler
January 2017 course

“There was a lot of opportunity to practice the techniques that we learned in class when we went on the field trips. It was very productive to learn from the other people on the course. I learned lots from the course trainers who were very encouraging and very professional.”

Dayana Vargas
January 2017 course

“Our favorite part of the course was the field trips: being able to go to schools during the course and get hands-on experience. Learning a chunk at the training centre and then being able to go out and implement it in a real teaching situation the next day was a lot of fun. The people in Thailand are super-friendly and the city is wonderful too.”

January 2017 course

“The 4 weeks were intensive but always enjoyable and gave me the confidence to deliver effective lessons. The classroom exercises and field trips added to the education and enjoyment with many funny moments to remember. Not all work !!! I'm delighted to recommend Chichester College Bangkok to anyone looking for an enjoyable teaching experience.”

Garry Burnett
November 2016 course

“Being so young is this field can be quite scary. This course definitely helped me build confidence in the classroom. There were plenty of opportunities to practice and the trainers were very supportive throughout the entire month. I learned so many helpful skills that will be useful while teaching in a foreign country. Not only did I gain confidence and techniques, but also some wonderful friends.”

November 2016 course

“I’m very happy I chose Chichester College for my TESOL education. As an accredited UK College offering a certified college level course, they expect college level participation from their students. There is no “phoning it in” in this class. The instructors are some of the best I have ever had. Great lectures, always available, and truly caring for their students' success. Our excursions/field trips were very interesting and eye opening.”

Keith Mueller
October 2016 course

“Chichester's TESOL course is short, intense and completely essential. You cannot become a successful teacher without first making many mistakes, but Chichester's prepares you to make the right mistakes and to learn from them as well.”

Josh Robertson
June 2016 course

“The course gave me opportunities to work in both Thailand and now also Vietnam. The course was excellent preparation. I have to say that it was very emotional leaving my students in Thailand. They were very special and I am so grateful that I had the chance to teach the kids and be part of the community.”

Michele Aherne
October 2014 course

“Having come into the world of ESL without any prior teaching experience, I'm amazed at how much more prepared and confident I feel to take on my first teaching role after completing the Chichester TESOL course. The field trips are an excellent way to get a real view of what teaching in Thailand is like, culminating in the final trip which gives you the chance to consolidate and put into practice everything you've learnt over the previous 4 weeks.”

Matt Dawson
October 2014 course

“Our time studying the Chichester College TESOL in Bangkok could not have prepared us better for teaching abroad. As a couple not knowing what to expect, the hands on training and professional guidance we received, helped pave the road to a successful and rewarding teaching experience.”
