The TEFL Certificate is internationally recognised and so opens up the doors to placements who would otherwise turn you away. Some of the other benefits of taking the TEFL Certificate are :
Guaranteed teaching placement at the end of the TEFL course - you will be put on a 4.5 month contract after completing your TEFL training.
Full immersion in TEFL training - there's no substitute for a fully intensive course, in any subject. By taking 3 - 4 weeks to study and practice teaching you will be well versed and have greater confidence to teach English, ready for your placement.
Experience the culture and the country first - by taking the TEFL course you will have a chance to experience Thai culture before you start teaching. This will help bring the culture gradually into your system so that you don't experience too much culture shock before you delve into the thick of things.
Learn with other native English speakers - the friendships you will develop on the course will be friendships you can keep throughout your stay in Thailand. They become a great support as you share similar journeys. You will find that although you would like to immerse yourself in the culture or even try your hand at Thai language, you will always find that speaking with another native English speaker is a breath of fresh air to your system.
