Can I teach abroad on this degree...
Posted: 06 Oct 2011, 17:59
Hi everyone,
I am looking very seriously at taking a CELTA course over the next couple of months and have gone to great lengths to read in depth how to set yourself up for the best teaching experience possible.
Unfortunately, it is a requirement to have a degree in order to work in a lot of the countries I am interested in. However, as it is the countries that require this degree certification and not the schools themselves I have been looking online at the quickest way to get literally any degree at a low cost/minimum effort just so I can work legally in places like South Korea, Dubai, Thailand etc.
I've come across some online degrees that only require "life experience" to qualify. Naturally a lot of them are indeed scams and I am not easily fooled. However, I was curious to find out whether there are any legitimate online bachelor degrees that are accredited and can be used to work as a TEFL teacher abroad. Will this type of degree satisfy whichever goverment body abroad?
Some websites that looked convincing, that even had testimonials (who I contacted personally on Facebook to double check the legitimacy of it all) seems quite legit. Check it out and tell me what you think and whether this type of plan would work. Any advice would be immensely appreciated...
