Hello Krujoe,


                  How's your application going? Have you aready applied for your license?


     Thanks for your post and the links to download the forms, I truly hope that you'll write a few words about your process.


P.S. Edited to add: What really bugs me is Khurusapha's Standard ^Teaching License Requirements for Foreign Teachers wording:

 "Have continuing experience of not less than one year."

The school has to issue quite a lot of documents, so how does that work out when you are working there for only five months?

 Should i get in touch with them ( TCT) to clarify?

I was refused the licence because my confirmation letter only stated 362 days, not 365. Also, I couldn't combine experience from different schools.

Hi Sirchai,

Sorry for being much overdue with my reply to your latest email.
I'll start first with how I received my certificate from St Roberts.
About two weeks ago I asked Grace on FB if the certs were already in Thailand, and she said yes.
So I asked her if it was possible to send it to me by EMS. She said yes.
So I sent my address to her in an email, and just in case as I usually did with my previous emails I forwarded a copy of the same email to Vladimer as well.
Then, on the following day I got an answer from Vladimer that it was no longer possible to send it by EMS, as several certificates got lost through the post therefore they stopped doing it.
So I asked Grace again about clarifying the situation. This time she said (the very day after her previous positive answer to the same question) that her boss didn't allow the certificates to be sent by post anymore. I had to pick it up in person instead.
So last weekend I had a trip to Bkk and received the certificate.

Finally, this week the admin in my school prepared all my other documents and forms needed for applying for the teachers' license, and it was sent by post to Khurusapha on Friday. She says it should take two or three weeks to get the licence.

Of course, I'll post it here as well, as soon as I receive it!

It's been a seven years saga for me already to finally arrive at this precious moment of my life.

Hello Krujoe,

Thank you very much for the detailed information. I hope that you didn't encounter the same problem on how to find the institution in Bangkok?

I was basically near St. Robert's but nobody- not even the taxi drivers- could tell me where it was....

I've just printed out the forms for the license and will try to get that sorted out this week. It really depends on a bit good luck and i truly hope that i do not have to wait again.

One problem might be that I'm only five months at my current school, but i do have an evaluation with some details from my former school.

Considering that I'm on a Non-O, I'll have to submit docs that proof my marriage and visa status.

Anyway, I decided to go there in person, just in case if there's something missing and I'll have all my documents with me, also the original;s of my BA and the Diploma that really gave me a very hard time. I'm glad that it's over now.

I know that it's all down to the person who'll take my application form and I hope that not the gloved guy will have anything to do with the process..


I wish you best of luck that you'll have your card in no time, without any hassles and hope that nothing has changed. I'll update my status right after the visit to Khurusapha, of course depending on my school's interest in helping me.

Have a good one and stay healthy !!

Cheers-

Hi GDP,

  I just saw your message which really makes me thinking twice. If they refused to issue your license because of  three missing days of one year, I do not have to waste some good money to drive to Bangkok, just to hear something similar.

 May i ask you if you were there in person, or did you apply per post? Been teaching here for 12 + years should at least be a sort of considered as having experience, it that's what they want to proof?

I can only hope that my detailed evaluation of my former school which I had created, but finally signed by his Eminence the director, will somehow lead me to the license.

 Waiting doesn't make much sense, my contract ends middle of March and I do not think that the school will renew the contract with the agency I'm working for.

 I'm not trying to blame the guys from the Filipino university, but waiting 2 years and seven months for something that "can be done" ( their words, when I applied) in ten months, to one year, was one of the biggest jokes I had to experience.

  Thanks and a nice stay in LOS/ -

Hi,

Got my flight to Krung Thep, plus a hotel for one night booked on the 9th this coming Monday and will apply for my license again.

This time, I've got my year full, all documents signed and I'm looking forward to seeing the TCT right after my arrival at Don Muang.

The plane's landing at 8.05 and I'll jump into a cab, no idea if there's a bus route that would make sense?

I'll knock on wood, right before I'm driving to the airport in Ubon and let you guys know how it went.

Our students are writing their midterm tests from the 9th to the 12th of July, but chances of not getting paid are still there.

Does anybody have an alternative to a cab from Don Muang? I know that it's easy to hop on a train and get to Huala Lumpong train station, from where I could take the MRT.

The first year where I'm still experiencing financial difficulties after not getting paid for the summer break. Enjoy teaching and stay healthy!

Good luck but why not apply via your provincial TCT office?
