British Council Thailand, in co-operation with the Thai International Education Consultant Association (TIECA), is inviting UK institutions accredited by British Council’s Accreditation UK to participate in a promotional campaign exclusively designed for the ELT sector.  

Background  British Council Thailand and TIECA have worked together for more than 15 years on the UK English Summer Schools campaign, encouraging Thai students to study English in the UK during the Thai school holiday periods.

Age range  Institutions participating in the scheme should identify the particular age group they wish to host within the range of 7–18 years. Due to recent changes in the Thai academic year, most universities will be closed for the summer holidays in July and August, so this programme is targeted towards school students only, the vast majority of whom are under 18 years old.

Course duration  A four-week ELT programme for students between March and April 2018 is to be proposed — actual dates can be agreed by the participating UK schools and their allocated agents in Thailand.

How to be part of the campaign;

1. The British Council and TIECA will select institutions for participation in this campaign.
2. A marketing and management fee will be applicable for institutions selected to participate in this campaign, as detailed below.
3. British Council Thailand will be responsible for the marketing and promotion of the campaign, as well as organising an orientation for students and parents.
4. Placement of students in participating institutions will be handled by agents assigned by TIECA. Once institutions have been assigned an agent, they should then communicate and negotiate details directly with that agent.
5. Due to the limited availability of places, institutions interested in promotional opportunities will still able to feature in the e-brochures and printed brochures.

* Excluding applicable VAT 

The invoice will be issued by British Council UK to the institution. However, if the institution wishes the invoice to be issued by British Council Thailand to their representative office/allocated agent in Thailand, please specify in the online application form.

Additional information 

There is an increasing demand in the Thai market for an integrated course of English language study and a placement at a British school to experience life at a school/boarding school and mixing with British and international students. This type of course is therefore very appealing to the Thai market.
