Because when companies like wowcher offer a deal with online TEFL certificates available for $49, its fair to say most people wouldnt really recognise them as a teaching certificate. Even the more respected (or at least recognised) online providers like i-i offer online certificates that can be completed in about 10 hours!
Quite a few people dont recognise a CELTA qualification as being anywhere near enough to make someone a 'qualified' teacher, so the online option has to be pretty much null and void. |

I am certified back in the US ( Social Science 6-12 and Language Arts 6-12), but it is not as nice as having a certificate from the UK.
My certification is good in one state only. I can teach in other US states but it takes awhile and the process, depending on the state cumbersome.
As far as PGCE/QTS is good for life, my state cert is not.
I am process as we speak to get back to US and go through the painstaking process of transfering my certification--OUCH!
I think I will miss the teachers here in China--they are great! Also have learned a lot of insight from Dave's too  |

| No option for qualified corporate trainers? We don't all teach in schools. |
