Vantage TEFL Certification review (https://www.englishatvantage.com/tefl-combined-class-thailand) submitted by Sandra.

I chose to take this particular course because I’m living in Cambodia and I could choose to take the teaching practice hours here in Phnom Penh, as opposed to taking them onsite in Bangkok. I ended up teaching half my hours in-person, to the students I’ve already been teaching English to, and the other half to online students based out in the countryside. Another reason why I chose the Vantage TEFL course is that I plan to relocate to Thailand, and I felt that having a Thai-issued TEFL certificate would possibly give me an edge over other applicants. I liked the course a lot and I can confirm what other reviewers have written about the staff at the Bangkok office being exceptionally helpful and friendly. I found the course to be easy, but that’s because I’ve been teaching English for almost two years now. I would say that the course difficulty level is correct for people with no previous TEFL experience. If you plan on teaching English in Thailand, this course is the way forward.

Teaching in Kampot Vantage TEFL Certification review, submitted by Anastasia.

Teaching in Kampot.

The Vantage TEFL platform is above the standard for those who seek online learning for job opportunities in Thailand and surrounding countries. They have interactive classes along with course assignments to test our practical skills on what we learned. This includes teaching face-to-face classes at their Bangkok head office. As a non-native English speaker, I was finding it difficult to be accepted by the many TEFL schools in Thailand, but Vantage TEFL welcomed me with open arms and could see that just because I wasn’t born in an English-speaking country it doesn’t mean that I can’t teach the language. I have studied English since I was a child and my knowledge of the language is as good, sometimes better, than teachers whom I’ve met that were born in the UK and the United States. So I appreciated the fact that Vantage was able to see my potential and not just the color and origin of my passport. The course Vantage TEFL offer is full of relevant topics and they provide an embossed certificate on successful course completion.
I planned to stay in Thailand and teach somewhere in the south, but after visiting Cambodia for a short holiday I decided that I would rather live and work here instead. I ended up deciding on Kampot because it is close to the ocean and you are still surrounded by tropical jungle. The famous pepper derives from this region and the locals make use of the spice in every way they can thankfully, I love pepper! Kampot is growing in popularity, but it still seems to be a through point for trips to the sea and the mountains. This means that it isn’t so overrun with tourists and is not saturated with large numbers of English teachers. I found a job within a week of arriving.
OK. Now the money. Yes, I only earn $10 or $11 for one teaching hour, but my accommodation costs $5 a night, so you shouldn’t be put off by the low wages because it’s all in balance. Kampot is a walkable city and Cambodian students are ace. If you don’t need to save money and just want to enjoy a stress-free life for a while, I can recommend Kampot. Oh, and my love of pepper will come in handy too
I would like to thank Vantage TEFL for helping me to able to live and work in Kampot when other TEFL schools in Thailand wouldn’t give me the time of day.
Did I dislike anything about my Vantage TEFL studies? No. Everything was up to standard and I received the results I signed up for.

tefl online pro review, submitted by Claire. G.

Up until recently, I lived in the lovely town of Kampot, in Cambodia, trying to make meets end by selling pretty much anything (legal!) you can think of, through eBay.

I’m a fully trained Social Worker, and while that came as an advantage living and working in Germany, I found that my nationality was a common handicap when it came to applying for jobs overseas, despite being C2 English language capable.

Despite falling in love with the Kampot lifestyle, a combination of family peer pressure and an internal desire to progress up the ladder in life made me want to better my social standing.

I mean, serving drinks to inebriated Brits has its advantages – tips mainly – but had this road I’d chosen for myself been a wise one?

A couple of months before I hit the big 30, I got talking to one of the bars’ patrons, and he seeded within me the concept of earning money through teaching English. He said I could make up to €4,000 per month, teaching little brats English, in Japan.

But, there was a catch.

No, he didn’t want to sleep with me. Although, given the opportunity, I doubt he would have refused.

The catch was that I needed to take a teaching English course.

He (Chris) who turned out to be a solid human being, recommend I take the tefl online pro 140-hour Hybrid course, which came with 20 hours of teaching practice.

$549 seemed a lot to me at the time, but Chris sat me down on one of the bar stools looked me squarely in the eyes – and asked where I saw myself in five years.

I internally wept.

That very evening, I enrolled in the course and haven’t looked back since.

OK. This isn’t the feel-good review of 2019.

It was a tough course. I had to reprogram my grammatical mind from German to English, but as I progressed, it all just came to me.

I passed the methodology section of the course with flying colors.

For the 20 teaching practicum hours, Chris contacted a Kampot local school for me, who were absolutely ecstatic that I would be coming to guinea pig teach their (adorable!) children. And so, it was on!

tefl online pro sent me my Lesson Plan forms, and at the end of each class, I would need to complete a form, scan it, and then email it off to their office. The feedback I received was so constructive and encouraged me to make my next lesson better than the last one.

So, all for $549, I gained a CELTA equivalent teaching English qualification, which I studied when I basically felt like it.

My certificate arrived a couple of weeks and a bit later, and comparing it to a friend’s cert she took with one of those full-time Onsite TEFL courses, there was no difference at all in the quality of the certificate.

So, I thought it was a sweet deal.

The following month, I quit my Kampot bar job and was on a flight to Japan, where I have been teaching ever since.

Oh yeah, I have dual citizenship, so without my US passport, I doubt it would have been so easy getting my teaching jig in Tokyo. I never mentioned on my job application that I’m also a holder of a German passport.

Kampot was definitely more fun than how I find living in Tokyo so far, but a girl gotta grow up sometime.

Besides, Japan quickly grows on you.

I’m not giving the tefl online pro program five stars, because I am not a five-star review type of girl. I tend, instead, to feel that three stars are the sweet spot that all companies deserve.

Damn you tefl online pro! I gave my first-ever four-star review!

Take this course. Change your life. Find the sweet spot in your life.
