Admissions
We admit students on the basis of character, commitment, and potential — not prior qualifications. Here is everything you need to know to begin your application.
Who Can Apply
Sirirat is built for young people who are ready to work hard, learn deeply, and commit to a professional path. We look for specific qualities over formal credentials.
Applicants must be between 18 and 28 years of age at the time of enrolment. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including those who have been out of formal education for several years.
Sirirat currently admits students who are Thai nationals or hold legal residency in Thailand. International applicants with strong ties to the local community may be considered on a case-by-case basis — please contact us to discuss.
A completed secondary school certificate (Matthayom 6 or equivalent) is required. Applicants who did not complete formal secondary schooling may be considered if they can demonstrate relevant work experience or community contribution.
Sirirat is a full-time, three-year vocational education. Applicants must be able to commit to the full duration of the programme and be prepared for physical, practical training. We read motivation carefully — form-letter applications are not considered.
What to Prepare
All documents should be submitted as clear scans or photos in PDF or JPG format. Originals will be verified during the interview stage.
Important Note
All documents may be submitted in Thai. Programme instruction is conducted in Business English, but we do not require applicants to demonstrate English proficiency before enrolment — language development is part of the curriculum.
There is no fee to apply to Sirirat. Programme costs, stipend structure, and scholarship availability will be communicated to shortlisted applicants directly.
If you need assistance completing your application — including document preparation — contact us at students@sirirat-academy.com or reach out via the contact page. We want to hear from you.
