Provided they offer a genuine Trinity CertTESOL course you can't really go wrong.

See the Teflnet FAQ on Cambridge CELTA, Trinity CertTESOL, SIT TESOL Certificate.

Q4: "present continuous/progressive used as a future form" Usually used when talking something happening in the present however we add a future word like tomorrow, tonight, August etc. EG: I am going to the cinema tonight. I would avoid using "going to" in such examples as it ge...

Try this EnglishClub page on Future Time to clarify.

The "be careful!" may be a not-so-subtle reminder that technically there is no such thing as "future tense" in English (hence the reference to the "future forms" in Q2-4)...

Hi Rusmeister: it's a good question and as Susan suggests it's absolutely ok to discuss the "philosophy of teaching". That's what these forums are for :)

Hi Stretch: There is little to choose between a CELTA and a CertTESOL - they are both excellent courses. You may like to look at the FAQ below which, among other things, explains why you might choose one over the other. You can also find answers about other TEFL courses from the same page. Cambridge...

I understand that you want to teach in China, but is there any special reason you want to do a TEFL course in China? There need be no correlation between where you do a course and where you teach. CELTA courses are accepted worldwide.
