TEFL / TESOL Certification Course for Siem Reap

Siem Reap is one of Cambodia’s most unique places to teach — smaller, community-driven, and filled with learners connected to tourism, local business, and NGO programs. 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 Siem Reap fully qualified.

Please note: We don’t currently offer our TEFL course in Siem Reap. 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 Siem Reap 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.
