Sorry, no. Although I'm curious myself. As one of the cheapest CELTAs in the world and one of the few schools that offer it both full and part time, it's on my 'hotlist'.

That region is a bit of a problem with regard to CELTA certification. As far as I can tell, the only countries with schools offering CELTA's are Brazil (~$1000USD) and Colombia (~$1350USD).

The school is:

*upmarket
*high quality
*run by an eccentric and sometimes difficult owner/boss who you would swear was a Brit, but is actually Brazilian
*one of the better payers
*in Porto Alegre as well as Rio--not sure about other cities

I am currently in Rio and Britannia was mentioned as THE best school to get a job with. I didn't get a job, as I arrived too late and they already have their teachers, but the offices (I've been to 3 of them here) are very nice and look to have good resources. I was told that they recruit and fill positions in October for the following year. Good luck!
