TEFL Insider Part Four
Following up my breaking news story on the school in the British Midlands that takes a 50 pound “interview fee” just for the pleasure of seeing what a real whiteboard looks like before you are accepted or rejected as a CELTA candidate, the Cambridge ESOL reply (received today) is basically “they can charge what they like”.
So starts my first TEFLtastic campaign. TEFLtastic says: not only is this a rip off that affects people who are new to the industry and so don’t know any better, it also sounds so similar to actual criminal scams that have occured in TEFL that the whole industry suffers from a supposed keeper of standards like Cambridge being connected to it. This has to stop, full stop.
