Do you have to speak Spanish, or Catalan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 TEFL yeah. I'm definitely not qualified to teach secondary school kids about shakespeare or anything. I didn't speak any Spanish or Catalan when I started my current job. Speaking it definitely helps, especially in young kids classes but there's such a demand for English teachers and especially native speaker teachers that it's not necessary to get a job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum_Fantastic Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Always wanted to do a TEFL course. Where else you been with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Only here actually. Before I got the qualification I'd done some voluntary teaching in Ghana and Nepal which is what made me want to do it more long term. At first I did think I would move around more and work in different places but I I ended up really liking it here and getting very settled. Don't think I'll be moving my life anywhere else any time soon. However it is nice to know that getting work wouldn't be much of a problem if I moved to almost anywhere in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The CELTA which is probably the best tefl qualification to go for can be done at these places in Scotland.http://cambridgeesol-centres.org/centres/teaching/search.do;jsessionid=CD74DDCD4D6AA34A40C830CCC1C0DBE1.node02?source=teacheraward&country=GB-SCT&qualification=ALL&Input=SearchThe Trinity College TESOL course is thought of as about the same standard too.

Paranoid Android Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 it depends on what you want to do with it but I wouldn't do a course with i-to-i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum_Fantastic Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 it depends on what you want to do with it but I wouldn't do a course with i-to-i.Never done one but was very interested before I moved here. Why wouldn't you recommend them ( so i know if i should stop their emails coming through) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 CELTA and Trinity are better accepted than others (as they are externally accredited) like i-to-i or TEFL International, particularly in the EU (supposedly) or by the British Council. Otherwise it doesn't matter that much (especially in Asia), as long as it's 120 hours, in-person. As well as colleges/unis they can be done at private centres, and abroad. I got mine in Vietnam.

Paranoid Android Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Not a thing against them in particular but a lot of places will only hire people who have done the Cambridge or trinity college qualifications. That's not true of everywhere but I definitely wouldn't have got my job if I'd done one of the i-toi courses. Basically there's a reason they are so much cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
