I am currently researching certificate programs in Buenos Aires and one of the ones I am the most interested in, BridgeTEFL, qualifies you with something called an IDELT (International Diploma in English Language Teaching), which is not a certificate I've heard of before... TESOL and CELTA and many others ring a bell, but not IDELT. Any opinions on how legitimate/widely accepted this IDELT thing is? Thanks for your time.

The IDELT� provides 140 contact hours between the trainee, the course trainer(s), peers, and EFL/ESL students. Course components include the following: essential subject knowledge given in input sessions (interactive lecture classes), teaching practice with real language learners, classroom observation of experienced teachers, and several written assignments.


From their website.

This would be considered an acceptable CELTA equivalent. If you decide to go with it, you may need to highlight on your CV/resume that your course met the basic standard of 120+ hours on site and included the hands-on teaching practice with real students, to make it easy for potential employers who have never heard of the course, but it should be an OK choice.
