TEFL / TESOL Certification Course for Seoul
Seoul is one of the most professional and competitive ESL markets in Asia. Schools expect confident teachers with practical classroom skills and recognized certification. While we don’t currently run our TEFL course in South Korea, you can complete our 4-week TEFL / TESOL certification in Bangkok and arrive in Seoul fully prepared.
Please note: We don’t currently offer our TEFL course in Seoul. 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 accepted in South Korea, allowing you to head to Seoul ready to apply for teaching jobs with confidence.
Complete your training in Thailand, then begin your teaching journey in South Korea with a qualification that schools recognize and trust.
