Four Pillars of Your Sukhothai Practicum
We combine intensive training, real classroom teaching, verified credentials, and direct job-hunting tools.
1. Orientation Training & Cultural Learning
Spend Friday to Sunday with our veteran trainers in Sukhothai mastering 50-minute ESL lesson planning, low-prep classroom games, Total Physical Response (TPR) techniques, Thai school etiquette (Jai Yen & saving face), survival Thai phrases, and a guided sunset bicycle tour through the UNESCO Sukhothai Historical Park.
2. Supervised Thai School Practicum
Step out of online theory and into a real Thai school from Monday to Friday. Join morning flag assembly, co-teach with local Thai faculty, lead warmers and speaking games across Kindergarten, Primary, or High School classes, and receive daily constructive feedback from our academic team.
3. Official TEFL Practicum Certificate & Reference
Thai school directors value real classroom experience in Thailand above an online-only PDF. Upon completing your school week, you are awarded an Official KET TEFL Practicum Certificate and a signed institutional reference letter verifying your classroom hours and teaching readiness.
4. Job-Seeker Guidance & Thai School Directory
We equip you to land your own teaching contract anywhere in Thailand. You receive 1-on-1 Job-Seeker Guidance (tailoring your CV for Thai directors, filming a winning introduction video, and Non-B visa walkthroughs) plus our curated Job-Seeker Directory of Thai Schools you can contact directly.
Practicum Schools Available: Kindergarten, Primary & High School
During your Monday to Friday school week, you will teach real Thai students across our partner schools in Sukhothai.

Lead structured 50-minute speaking and vocabulary lessons, interactive board relays, team role-play dialogues, and active English Camp station rotations.
3. High School (Mathayom)
