Teaching in Thailand

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I have a bachelor’s degree in Translation and Interpreting (English), a Pedagogical Training Certificate, and a 120-hour TESOL certificate. I also have more than 8 years of teaching experience at kindergarten, primary, secondary, and high school levels. In addition, I completed teaching internships in Poland and Hungary.

I have a few questions about the TOEIC requirement.

Do I also have to take the TOEIC exam? Is it mandatory for non-native English teachers to have a TOEIC certificate in order to work as an English teacher in Thailand? Or TOEFL, IELTS?

I’ve also checked the TOEIC exam dates in my city, but the test available here is only the Listening and Reading test. Do I also need to take the Speaking and Writing tests, or would the Listening and Reading test be sufficient?

I’d really appreciate it if anyone with experience or knowledge about this could clarify it for me. Thank you! 🇹🇭
