TEFL / TESOL Certification Course for Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh has one of Southeast Asia’s most accessible and welcoming ESL markets. Schools, NGOs, and language centers are always looking for confident, practical teachers. While we don’t currently run our TEFL course in Cambodia, you can complete our 4-week TEFL / TESOL certification in Bangkok and arrive in Phnom Penh fully qualified.
Please note: We don’t currently offer our TEFL course in Phnom Penh. You can complete the same 4-week, 120-hour TEFL / TESOL certification at our main training center in Bangkok, Thailand.
Bangkok is an easy and comfortable place to spend a few weeks training, with great transport, affordable living, and a supportive learning environment designed for new teachers.
After finishing the course, you’ll hold an internationally accredited TEFL/TESOL certificate that is fully accepted in Cambodia, allowing you to head to Phnom Penh ready to apply for teaching jobs with confidence.
Complete your training in Thailand, then begin your teaching journey in Cambodia with a qualification that schools recognize and trust.
