About our IN COUNTRY TESOL/TEFL course

We offer both an accredited online or in-class option for anyone who doesn’t have a TESOL or equivalent certificate.

​

If you already have a 120-hour TESOL or equivalent, our placement team will review your application and confirm whether your qualification is valid.

​

Many TESOL courses are not accredited and do not provide adequate preparation for teaching. That’s why we recommend completing our 120-hour in-class TESOL in Myanmar. It will give you the best possible preparation and ensure that your students get the best education.

​

The TESOL Course is a 4 week course which takes place in Yangon, Myanmar and is tailored specifically for those preparing to teach English in Myanmar.

It consists of a 5 day cultural orientation program followed by 3 weeks of theory and practical learning.

You’ll also get to meet fellow teachers and forge new friendships while participating in exciting cultural activities and excursions.
