Great idea! Thailand’s focus on workforce development and practical skills
makes it a promising market for vocational training schools to thrive and make a real impact.
Identify high-demand skills in Thailand’s job market. Choose programs that are practical, in-demand, and aligned with vocational needs.
Set up a Thai Limited Company, which is most common for small to medium vocational training schools.
As a foreigner, you’ll need Thai majority ownership unless you receive BOI promotion. Choose trustworthy Thai partners who understand the vocational education sector.
Design courses that align with Thai vocational skill standards. Your curriculum must be clear, structured, and relevant for MOE (Ministry of Education) approval.
Choose a location that meets MOE regulations. For small schools, a minimum of 200 sqm is required. Ensure zoning compliance and accessibility.
Submit your curriculum, facility plans, and staff qualifications to the Ministry of Education. The approval process typically takes 3–6 months.
Recruit both Thai and foreign instructors who meet MOE standards. Maintain a legal ratio of 4 Thai staff per 1 foreigner, unless you’re BOI-certified.
Buy equipment and tools that match your training programs. The MOE will inspect facilities before approval.
Promote your school through Facebook, LINE OA, Google Ads, and vocational job platforms. Attract both Thai and international students through local partnerships and online campaigns.
