Teach English Abroad

In Thailand alone, our partner agency has placed almost 1000 English teachers and maintains long-term agreements with the host schools, universities and educational departments in the region.

Teach English Abroad program employees specialize in covering the specific country, building and maintaining relationships with schools and help manage the teachers so that the process of settling in, working and living in the new country is as easy and as smooth as possible.

With CICD and its partner agency, you will never have to go it alone. Our partner's staff has been through all of the cultural and teaching trials and tribulations that sometimes go hand in hand with the job. They will help you avoid the hassles of negotiating with schools, applying for visas, and getting medical and travel insurance. They can even take care of your flight arrangements.
