yes, but you can also get a two day weekend course. But if a degree is the minimum requirement in LoS then its academic.
Look at this: -
For those interested in taking a TEFL in Thailand, the good news is that demand is very high for English language teachers year round and you are sure to be offered a TEFL position soon after completing your TEFL course. Opportunities teaching TEFL in Thailand are countrywide, from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Phuket to Koh Samui.
With our TEFL courses running year round at three diverse locations, we are confident of having a TEFL course in Thailand which meets your wishes. Our three TEFL course locations in Thailand offer different features for those interested in TEFL Thailand.
^Yeah, but they are selling tefler courses, they might be a bit biased?
Sadly, if you can walk and your white you will be able to get a job teaching english in Thailand, if you can walk and your black you will find it a bit harder, if you are able to use a wheelchair and breath you still have a good chance of getting a teaching job in Thailand, the standards are pretty low as is the pay.

As for 'being a good teacher because you have a degree' that is even more bollocks. Since when did a degree in Physics make one a good language teacher?
critical thinking aint his strong point...Originally Posted by dirtydog
Contacted other people without a degree after taking these 2 day courses... all working!!
Seems alot of myth on this subject
^There is a lot of difference between 25,000baht per month and 100,000baht per month, one includes a degree, a legally obtained work permit and a lot more money, the other, well, as I posted earlier, if you are white and breathing you can get a teaching job in Thailand.
This has all been cussed and discussed. DD's comments are valid. Why you ask? I have been on the upper end teaching here in Thailand for over 10 years.
Do a few teachers fall through the cracks? Sure, but the gap gets closer and closer every year. Personally, in the upper end I have yet to see a fake...
My own personal experience has shown that it is damn tough even to be hired. Try to be a fake in the bigger schools and, personally I do not think a person would make it through the process. A minute percent perhaps.
Having said that does a qualified teacher make a good citizen in Thailand? Only time will tell on this issue.
Good luch with your choice...
