Hello!!!!

I am looking for a course to take in Barcelona. Job placement is really important to me, and I'm looking for a course that offers the best job placement services.

Additionally, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each of the certificates? Will it matter that much?

Any suggestions/advice for schools in other cities? I'm mostly interested in Spain, Italy, and France.

THANKS IN ADVANCE,
jon

If you're a US citizen, it's going to be difficult to get a legal work permit for any of the places you mention. So, job placement offered by any training program is not really going to help you much.
You might want to check the Embassy websites for the countries you're interested in to see the latest rules for non-EU citizens and working permits. You can also find about a million threads on this forum on the topic of Americans hoping to work in the EU.

If you've got a passport from an EU country, all of the above is moot, of course! In that case, the big name programs are usually the best tickets to Euro jobs. CELTA, probably, though some of the generics offer solid basic training as well.

Best advice overall: read through previous postings on this forum for more info!!
