TEFL Teacher training from Poland? [18]
for employment purposes I don't think it's too important which one you do
much of it depends where you are going to teach - in many parts of the world, e.g. asia/china/south america, you can get by with a distance or online certificate... this is not the case in europe
go for a course which is a minimum 1OO hrs in length... 12O is better... make sure there are at least 6 hrs of teaching practice included in the course and that these are with *real* students and not peers from the course
there are a number of more recognised providers - the Cambridge CELTA and Trinity Cert TESOL being perhaps the best know. TEFL International now claim to graduate more trainees per year than Trinity
its worth noting that the A in CELTA stands for adults and the chances are you will be teaching kids... at least to start with
If you are planning to teach in poland and dont want the expence of a certificate, there is a very popular series of scools using their own methodology and will train you up... callan.co.uk
