The 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions

Regarding Our Training Courses

Q How long have T&T Training been providing language training to businesses?

A T&T Training, under the name of Text-And-Talk, was established in Bangkok in 1991 and has been

servicing the needs of businesses and government departments throughout Thailand ever since.

Q Where are you located?

A Our Head Office is located in the Ratchayothin area of Bangkok. We also have a Corporate Training

Office in Pattaya providing services to businesses on the Eastern Seaboard.

Q How many teachers work for you?

A At any one time, we will have in excess of 60 teachers working for us, not only in corporate training,

but also in schools,colleges and universities throughout Bangkok and many other provinces.

Q Where are your teachers from and are they qualified?

A Most of our teachers are native English speakers and all of our teachers possess good educational

backgrounds together with a recognised teaching qualification.

Q Do Text-And-Talk only teach English?

A No. We also teach many other languages such as French, German, Russian, Danish, Swedish,

Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and even Thai for your foreign staff members.

Q What makes Text-And-Talk different from many other schools?

A Our success has been built on providing the best possible language training at a competitive price.

Where appropriate, we will design a language course that is fully tailored to our client's needs which

will be taught by a qualified experienced professional teacher, preferrably with, at the least, a working

knowledge of the industry or market sector of our clients rather than just send someone to teach from

a standard course book with little or no relevance to the client's industry, aims or objectives.

Text-And-Talk does a lot more than just supply English teachers to teach business English. We have

busy language schools in Bangkok and Pattaya, we are an approved supplier of professional teachers

to government and private schools, we provide a full translation, proofreading and editing service and

we conduct the only TEFL Teacher Training Course which is officially approved by the Thai Ministry of

Education.

Q Are your courses expensive?

A No. In comparison to most other language training providers, our rates are very competitive based

on the level of service and quality of teaching we provide. A typical group of approximately 12 students

could study for less than 100 baht per person per hour in many cases.

Q Do Text-And-Talk provide the course materials?

A Yes. After determining study requirements and ability levels of staff we will recommend suitable

course study materials.You, as the client, can either purchase these materials yourself or we can

supply them to you at the publisher's, or their distributors, current prices.

Q How do you group together or place staff before training can start?

A We will conduct a pre-course placement test with all staff that are likely to study. This will comprise

of a multiple choice test and, where necessary, a speaking and listening test. In addition, we can also

conduct an in-class needs analysis to ensure that the needs and requirements of each individual

student fit with the overall aims and objectives of the company.

Q Do Text-And-Talk offer any other additional services when courses are in progress?

A Yes. During the training period, we will provide a mid-course and an end-of-course report outlining

individual student progress, attendance and test scores (if applicable). We will also conduct a survey

at an early stage of the course to ensure that you are completely satisfied with the course to date and

will stay in contact with you throughout the course to ensure that the training remains on-track to meet

your training objectives.

Q Do Text-And-Talk award certificates to students attending courses?

A Yes we do, but usually only on courses in excess of 60 hours. Usually, certificates are awarded to

those students who have shown the right level of committment to studying and have attended a

minumum number of classes rather than the "best in the class" or the "best exam result" type of

certificate. Some of our clients prefer to set their own criterion for awarding certificates and we will be

pleased to discuss this requirement with you, if you so wish.
