Before You Pay

Before making any payment to IH Bangkok, we wish to advise you of several points:

  • Payments for teacher training courses can be made in US dollars, sterling or Thai baht (please see below for details of prices for each currency).
  • No payment should be made by any applicant until a letter of acceptance has been issued by IH Bangkok confirming the applicant's place on a course, at which time a deposit payment of $600 is payable.
  • A place on a course cannot be confirmed until a deposit has been paid.
  • Once paid, deposits are non-refundable.
  • Once a deposit has been paid, the candidate's place on the course is guaranteed up until the date at which the balance payment of $1,000 (or $1,500 / $1,745 / $1,845 for the packages in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket respectively) is due; 4 weeks before the start date. Failure to make the balance payment will result in forfeiture of the place. Applicants applying less than four weeks before the start of the course will just make the full payment on acceptance.
  • Should a participant withdraw from a course less than one month before its commencement, the course fees will be forfeited along with the deposit.
  • All deposits and fees will be refunded in the event of a course being cancelled and if subsequent courses are not suitable for the candidate.
  • Candidates are urged to understand that there is a risk of failing and that in such an event, no money can be returned.

Payment Confirmation

Receipt of payments made will be confirmed electronically, or by phone, within three working days.

Payment Alternatives

Prices are somewhat confusing in that we offer 2 options (course only / package) in three currencies (US dollars/pounds sterling / Thai baht) for three different centres (Bangkok / Chiang Mai / Phuket). Please do feel free to contact us at celta@ihbangkok.com should you have any doubts whatsoever- we'll be more than happy to help).

*  The price for the CELTA course only Bangkok is the same regardless of whether you are participating on either a full or part time basis.

*1The Bangkok & Board package uses a serviced apartment for which a 500 USD (or equivalent) refundable deposit is required. This can be deposited with the fees or on arrival. Since it is a serviced apartment and not a hotel room, bills (electricity and water) are extra. Bills will be between 1,000 and 2,000 Baht depending on how much you use the air-conditioner.

Please let us know how you intend to pay at the interview stage so that we may send you the correct bank account details in your acceptance letter.

 

Bank Transfers or deposits into our bank in England

Payments can be made in pounds sterling only into our British bank.  Payments from one UK bank to another should not incur any bank charges.
