Hong Kong is very expensive. How much do you think a TEFL salary is over there? Why work in an expensive city like HK? Are you gonna get free accommodation? Just do like NS says and email your registrar to get a transcript or letter about your TEFL. TEFL is CELTA. There aren't any other TEFL certificates I know of. They're all CELTAS nowadays I think. That's the only one worth getting anyway.

I am not in HK anymore, thank you. And yes, there is TEFL and CELTA, the two are not the same.

Usually no free accommodation is offered with teaching positions in HK. Why work in HK? Put simply, there is still a lot of potential to earn good money here teaching EFL. I personally know quite a few teachers here earning over USD $100K / year. When combined with low taxes and the other benefits of living in HK, it's not hard to see the attraction.
