Work / Information on teaching English in Poland - Bielsko-Biała, Slaskie region. What are the possibilities here? [6]

Hi everyone. First time posting on this forum but I frequently drop by to read different threads. Now, I have an interest in teaching English in Poland, specifically Woj. Sląskie (Bielsko-Biała region). Anyone have any idea as to how the market is for English language teachers in this area? I have a Bachelor's Degree and a Master's Degree in Political Science, but no certification to teach English. From reading several topics, general consensus agrees that "CELTA" is the way to go, whereas, "TEFL" or "TESOL" are useless. Is certification really necessary to teach in PL? I want to enroll for CELTA, but it requires face-to-face time within a classroom setting, and since I live in the middle of no where in the State of Florida, the nearest location to enroll for courses is over 2hrs away by car. Therefore, it is a little problematic because I will not be able to travel there, given work related responsibilities. Maybe, I should just drop the idea, but any advice is welcome. Thanks.
