Dear Prospective CMU Student,

With over 36,000 enrolled students, Chiang Mai University is one of the largest and most well-regarded universities in the South East Asian region.  A degree, diploma, or certificate from Chiang Mai University is recognized (and have been for almost 50 years) globally by employers.  Currently, we have TEFL graduates working all over South East Asia, China, Korea, Japan, Europe, the US, and Australia.  And, of course, a CMU TEFL Certificate enjoys particularly high recognition within Thailand.

Chiang Mai University's 120-hour TEFL Certificate Program allows you access and assistance from Chiang Mai University's TEFL Job Database - this offers jobs from around the world, but particularly SEA, China, Korea, and Japan. 

If you decide to enroll in Chiang Mai University’s 120-hour TEFL Certificate Program, you will also receive: 20 hours of beginner’s Thai instruction, visa assistance, housing assistance, and full CMU university student privileges (swimming pool, libraries, gym, etc).

The classes for the 120-hour TEFL Certificate Program are conducted at the Chiang Mai University’s Language Institute, which is the largest ESL/EFL teaching complex of its type in South East Asia.

It is VERY unusual for our graduates to take longer than three weeks to find a suitable teaching position.  Graduates from Chiang Mai University's TEFL program are highly regarded by employers and are in great demand.  (This makes our program very popular, so if you decide to do the 120-hour program please make sure that you enroll as soon as is convenient as the classes fill quickly).

Chiang Mai University also offers a 60-hour Online TEFL Certificate Program.  As with the 120-hour program, you still get visa assistance, Chiang Mai University job placement assistance, and are issued with a certificate accredited by Chiang Mai University.  Additionally, we can organize 2 weeks (or more) of volunteer placements for you, so that you can gain the teaching experience that you would not get with the 60-hour Online TEFL Certificate Program.

Thank you for considering enrolling at Chiang Mai University

Yours Sincerely,
Matt
