Schools Project
In 1998 First Training began placing foreign English language teachers in a number of schools under the administration of the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA). This cooperation continues in 2000 with First Training placing an additional 50 teachers in local schools.

Teacher Training
First Training provides teacher training for Thai English language teachers employed by the BMA. Around 85 local teachers attended First Training's most recent teacher training courses conducted on 8 and 9 May 2000. The programme included a two-day course on current teaching methodology and half-day workshops devoted to demonstrating classroom activities that require little or no prior preparation.
