1. Payment & Booking
1.1 Once your application has been provisionally accepted by Teach Abroad Thailand (TAT) you will be asked to pay a deposit fee, which is fully refundable only if we cannot provide you with your chosen course placement, if we decide not to accept you into the course or if your course is canceled for any reason.
1.2 If for any reason you decide to cancel your place on a course, or you are unable to travel to Thailand, after you have made your deposit or balance payment, TAT cannot provide any refunds as we will have already incurred costs in arranging your placement and we may have already refused other applicants. We will however hold your payment in reserve for up to 18 months if you need to cancel for any reason and join a course at a later date. You may also transfer your deposit to a friend/partner as long as they meet our enrollment criteria.
1.3 The deposit can be used as part payment for any course on any date, subject to the availability of places. Applications cannot be transferred or deferred within 30 days of the start of a course that the applicant has agreed to attend. The balance fees must be paid in full at least 4 weeks in advance of the course start date.
1.4 We have never canceled a course due to lack of numbers however, If for any reason a course has to be canceled for any reason we can offer you the following options.
a) A place on an alternative course date and/or location.
b) A full refund of your fees.
1.5 You are requested NOT to book flights or make any travel arrangements until you have received a written confirmation of your placement from the host school director or authorized staff. (You will receive this confirmation by email within 3 days of making your deposit payment)
1.6 TAT will not be held responsible for compensating or reimbursing any travel or accommodation costs, including flights and all other related, and non related expenses, under any circumstances whatsoever. TAT will not be held responsible for compensating or reimbursing any part of the program package if that item becomes unavailable, or is withdrawn without notice, under any circumstances whatsoever.
1.7 All students are subject to the disciplinary regulations of the training centre. The course director's decision is final. No refund will be issued to any student who is expelled from a TEFL course/program under any circumstances whatsoever.
1.8 Base rate is in GBP£ and we are not liable for any variation in exchange rates.
1.9 We may offer discounted rates & promotions, such as buddy discounts, at certain times of the year to boost our enrollments. This means there may be other students on your course who paid less than you. We cannot accept requests for reimbursements because you may have missed a promotion, or other student(s) paid less than you for the same package. No exceptions will be made under any circumstances.
2. Disclaimer
2.1 Your use of our service is at your own risk. Neither TAT, nor any of its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, agents, representatives or licensees shall be liable to you or anyone else for any loss or injury or any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive or similar damages arising out of your access or use of, or your inability to access or use, the service and the sites and the information available on the service and the sites or arising out of any action taken in response to or as a result of any information available on the service and the sites. You hereby waive any and all claims against TAT, and its subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, agents, representatives and licensees arising out of your use of the service and the sites and the information available thereon.
2.2 We've tried to make the information on this web site as accurate as possible, but it is provided 'as is' and we accept no responsibility for any loss, injury or inconvenience sustained by anyone resulting from this information.

3. Job Placements
3.1 Our approved TEFL certificates are accepted throughout the world by reputable organisations who employ English Language teachers. This means that you will most likely secure a teaching job before, or shortly after, you complete your TEFL course. We will introduce you to our Job Placement agents who will interview you for available positions all over Thailand.
3.2 Please remember that all job placements are subject to an interview by the prospective employer. Due to the high number of sub standard applications ESL employers now receive by email we strongly recommend that you call first to arrange a meeting, rather than applying by email, to be sure of securing an interview.
3.3 We do NOT include a job placement in our packages. To date, 93% of our course graduates who wanted to work, were able to find paid work in Thailand within 4 weeks of completing the TEFL course. Due to the many dynamics involved in the job recruitment and selection process we are unable to offer a refund of the deposit or course fees to any graduate who is unable to secure any teaching placement under any circumstances whatsoever.
3.4 We cannot assist in arranging job placements in Phuket, Koh Samui or any other islands due to the low number of paid teaching positions available and the islands popularity. Most teaching jobs in Thailand are to be found in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Surrathanni, Krabi and virtually all other provincial towns and cities in Thailand.
3.5 If we do arrange a job placement for you, (as part of our fast track program only) our decision is final and non negotiable. It is a condition of your acceptance on our program that you are flexible in your location. You will be subject to your employers agreement, terms & conditions.

8.2 Please note a small number of ESL employers run their own in-house TEFL course and may not accept any other TEFL certificate other than their own. Our advice is to simply look elsewhere.
8.3 We continue to receive reports of unscrupulous ESL employers and TEFL companies making false claims about our TEFL certification. In most cases this is an attempt to sell you an additional TEFL course for which they receive a commission or payback.

We will commence full legal action against those responsible as we have done so successfully in the past.
