Hi Steve,

I noted Jason’s outline of the licensing requirements includes the need for certified translations of degrees and transcripts (presumably into Thai!?). My school handles the applications for our teachers here and does not include translations, however we have only had permanent licences granted in the past under the now expired grandfather provisions, all others have been two year temporary licenses. You also commented that the inhabitants of the batcave are competent in English. Is the translation an essential requirement?

Secondly, for those of us who are upcountry do you know if the TCT ever answers their phone. Our Principals secretary has been calling them for days now with no success.
