Latest Program Reviews
Most amazing experience!
August 06, 2026by: Michelle Jowen - MalaysiaProgram: Contractual Position
I’m so glad I joined the Management Training Program with RMC Asia! I learned a lot while training at a 5-star Marriott hotel in Phuket, but honestly the experience was so much more than just work. It helped me become more confident, meet amazing people, and experience what it's like to work in an international environment. One of my favorite parts was meeting friends from all over the world, we literally became best friends! 🥹 We explored Phuket together, celebrated Songkran for the first time which was SO much fun, and made memories I'll never forget. Super grateful for this opportunity and would definitely recommend it to anyone who's thinking about joining!
I had the time of my life!
August 18, 2025by: Kaitlyn Markakis - United StatesProgram: Paid Summer Teacher in Thailand
I’m so grateful for this opportunity. It was nerve-racking at first, but I’m so glad that I went for it. I met so many amazing people and my host family was amazing! I saw so many beautiful views and monuments during my time in Spain, as well as other countries I traveled to while out there. I highly recommend this to everybody who is willing to take the leap.
Thank you Kaitlyn for taking the time to leave this review. We're glad you had a positive experience. We're here anytime you need us and thank you again. It was an honour having you as a part of The Cultural Exchange Project in Spain.
The most memorable experience
April 17, 2025by: Lilly Myskey - United StatesProgram: Teach English in Thailand
My teaching internship was one of the best experiences I could've asked for. My first month in December was getting my TEFL certification/course and meeting other volunteers. I loved this part as it was a great way to meet people instantly and get accustomed to your new environment. Afterward, my NGO helped me get my accommodation, and I began teaching English. I loved the school I was placed in. The teachers and students were so welcoming and kind. Once March was over, it was time for the students to go on school break, which allowed me plenty of time to travel and explore Thailand. The culture is so rich, full of love, and undeniably incredible. I would do this project time and time again. RealStep helped me SO much in the beginning and helped me get accustomed to my NGO in Thailand. Both companies were amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better support team.
Life-changing experience!
March 13, 2025by: Livia Bergin - United StatesProgram: Paid Summer Teacher in Thailand
I could not be more grateful for my experience abroad. I have learned so much about myself and the world through this journey. My favorite part has been getting to know my host family and their culture. I feel so lucky to have met them and to know that I have developed a meaningful friendship that will last me a lifetime. I highly recommend a travel abroad experience to anyone who is considering it– mine has truly changed my life!
Thanks, Livia. We can tell you the family raved about you and would love to have you back over and over. :-) Thank you for doing such an amazing job for the family and the children. We're lucky to have worked with you on the Spain program.
I’ve enjoyed this program because I get to travel
September 06, 2023by: Imogen GaddProgram: Paid Summer Teacher in Thailand
My goals for this program are honestly just to relax and make the most of this experience, to utilise it as a chance to grow as a person. I was able to do a weekend trip with my host family to Naples at the end of July :) It was really nice being a part of the family while traveling. My host father likes to play The Clash and AC/DC while cooking. That gets everyone in the house excited for dinner and family time. Very different from my own home. Being in Sardinia, I am spending a lot of time at the beach. The beaches are phenomenal, wild yet so serene. I feel very at peace here! I definitely recommend purchasing and bringing alone a guidebook to wherever you will be visiting. I know you can Google places, but sometimes the WiFi service isn’t good. Having a reliable guidebook has come in handy. I’ve enjoyed this program because I get to travel. I have been to Golfo Aranci, Porto Rotondo and Palau, which are just north of where I am staying in Olbia. I’ve also been to the Tomb of Giants and Castello di Pedres archaeological sites, and I am hoping to go to Asinara Island, home to the Sardinian albino donkeys! It’s a great program.
The course is very much worth the money
December 14, 2021by: Ashley F.Program: 120-Hour Accredited TEFL Certification with Live Support
I loved that the course was flexible and could be worked into my schedule when I had time. I didn’t have to commit to a certain day a week for student teaching or class observations. I could do the whole course at home in the evenings when my kids were in bed. I liked the logical sequence the class followed and that it didn’t just teach you English grammar, but taught you how to be a better teacher, which can be used for other teaching aspects than just TEFL. The course is very much worth the money for anyone who wants a certificate to teach English abroad.

December 01, 2021by: Marc Borcena - United StatesProgram: 120-Hour Accredited TEFL Certification with Live Support
TEFL Pro is an amazing program that taught me a lot about teaching abroad. I found the lessons on lesson planning for reading, listening, speaking and writing so wonderful. I learned ways to structure my lesson in a clear way. Any questions I asked they answered it even if it was nothing to do with the course. The videos and the example lesson were so helpful to see insight on the practicality of the plan. This course was so amazing. Will totally recommend it!
Oh my, my and mai pen rai, I am having the Thaime of my life.
September 04, 2017by: David Bujarski - ThailandProgram: Paid Teacher in Thailand
My stay in Thailand was amazing!! It wasn't just a place to visit, but a series of divine encounters. My fellow teachers, the students, community of Uttadarit and Xplore Asia as well as the Thai people I met impacted my life in ways I can't express. The attitude of the culture is one of respect and acceptance that goes way beyond what I have experienced anywhere else in my travels. Combine this with the beauty of the country, the food, the travel and the graciousness of everyone I met and I had the Thaime of my life. I would go back to Thailand in a heart beat and I hope I get a chance to someday.
