CELTA isn't even recognized in Asia.

Hi! Please, don't fall into the debt trap by starting a new credit card when you already owe money on an existing one. Instead, focus on paying off your existing debt first. My advice is also to avoid the recruitment agencies. You can easily find work yourself, and you are much more likely to receiv...

Absolute hogwash.

I've been teaching English for over seven years and I took my TEFL online - I now teach for one of the largest schools in Wien, and the majority of the other teachers are also online TEFL qualified.

It's 2019: the era of the onsite (residential) TEFL is coming to an end.

Mia.

You are welcome! :)

I'd like to add on here what others have written that while you may sometimes come across a school with an age policy, it is the exception rather than the norm. More mature teachers bring experience to the table and are less likely to go swanning off and breaking a teaching contract. And yes, teachi...

If you’re smart-thinking, you should take your TEFL certification online:

There is no accrediting body for Online TEFL courses, and I have never heard of WTEFLAC before. There are accrediting bodies for Onsite TEFL courses, such as through the British Council. If an Online TEFL course claims to be "accredited" it means a). They set up a quickie accreditation web...

Sorry, but that is absolute hogwash. If Online TEFL certificates were not globally accepted then there would be no Online TEFL industry. One point of your post though is true, and that is that the British Council, Cambridge, Oxford, and Trinity College only accept applicants with their own certifica...

I'm sure this isn't the case with your school, but some of the very cheap TEFL courses sometimes have a habit of failing lesson plans so they can then earn more money with a course extension payment. Begin your lesson plan with the lesson objective. Follow with a warmer. Then the Presentation, Pract...

Hi there. I would start with the big tefl certification players in Prague, such as The Language House, TEFL WORLDWIDE, and so on. Could it have been a company like Next Level or ITC? Many schools claim to operate TEFL school programs in Prague, but they are only affiliate schools so you may want to ...

You will be absolutely fine taking an online TEFL course. Employers will only want to see that you have taken a course and it can really be from any school: onsite or online. My advice though would be to try and find an online course that also offers a teaching practice component if you have never t...

Hi there! I would recommend breaking the ice with learn-by-play game activities so that the student and yourself can interact in a fun, confidence-building environment. To assess their level you really want to be testing them on all 4 major skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. You might...

Hi there! I read your post and decided to do a bit of looking into it. TEFL Cambridge are "powered by TEFL Express" as stated on the TEFL Cambridge website. The problem with very cheap TEFL courses in general seems to be both the poor course content quality and the tendency for these schoo...

Hi there! I think that what readers need to know is that any TEFL course which issues a TEFL certificate at the end is worthwhile. Employers only want to see proof of TEFL course certification and it is highly unlikely that they will ever ask which school it was that you took your TEFL certification...
