Housing Arrangements

Housing is not included in the TEFL course tuition. Assistance in finding accommodations in Phnom Penh, however, is available.

Our onsite partners in Cambodia have identified suitable accommodations near the course location and will provide a verified list of 2 budget, 2 medium-priced, and 2 higher-end options. The accommodation list that will be provided after registration is by no means definitive, and we recommend also doing your own independent research on hotels within your budget in the city.
 
When booking your accommodation, keep in mind that your first night should be no later than day one of your program (the designated start date) – which will be a Sunday. This is important because the onsite partner hosts a welcome dinner and drinks (all free) in the evening on the first Sunday of each new program. The welcome dinner is a terrific opportunity to meet the staff and your classmates in an informal setting, which makes day two of your program (the first day in class), less stressful than it would otherwise be.
 
So including day one – that first Sunday – you should book accommodation for 23 nights to complete this onsite TEFL certification program in Phnom Penh.
