Thailand · Bangkok
Train as a nursery teacher from Bangkok without travelling to a training centre. Study APTTI's NTT course online in your own time, then teach in international and bilingual kindergartens and English programmes and other early-years settings.
The NTT course in Bangkok is studied online: Certificate after 10th (120 hours, 6 months), Diploma after 12th (200 hours, 10 months) or PG Diploma for graduates (240 hours, 12 months). Fees start at USD 170 (₹10,000 + GST). There is no entrance exam, you can start any time, and the certificate is posted to your Bangkok address.
Learners in Sukhumvit, Bang Na, Sathorn, Ladprao, Silom, Ratchada, Thonglor and Nonthaburi and across Bangkok use the same online course: log in at any time, work through the modules and submit assignments to your tutor. You can practise with children where you already work, volunteer at a local playschool or nursery, or use activities at home.
Study is self-paced, so ICT (UTC+7) working hours make no difference. Assignments are in English; Thai and English can all be part of your classroom practice.
Trained nursery teachers in Bangkok work in international and bilingual kindergartens and English programmes. Many also run home-based activity or phonics groups.
International and bilingual kindergartens in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket recruit English-speaking early-years teachers.
