Have your heart stolen by the immense beauty of the country and its people – a country famed for its ancient underground cities, impressive temples and incredible cuisine.

Aside from earning a lifelong qualification and enhancing your teaching skills, you can explore a country bursting with colour, tradition, history and adventure. A 7-day orientation will open up this exciting new chapter in your life where you and other TEFL teachers will learn about Cambodia’s enthralling history, language and culture.
In between cooking classes and cycling through mesmerising Phnom Penh, you will have workshops and seminars on Cambodia’s education system and how to prepare yourself for 12 of the most rewarding weeks of your life.
