Language Link in Beijing have a programme (or did last year anyway). Don't know how to contact them, but they must have a website. Two of my friends took the course and loved it.

A Z visa simply is a working visa you would need in order to work legally in China. You can only apply for it at a Chinese Embassy in your country when you have signed up with a school in China that has a license to hire foreign teachers.

Was this information helpful to you?

It does not make sense to start an edit controversy over such an issue.

@Steppenwolf
Please kindly bear in mind that there are countries like Slovenia (a former part of Yugoslavia) here people do not have easily Internet access and where above all, contrary to China, internet access is not free for foreign teachers there. And in Slovenia, pay may be even much lower than in China.

So, why making an easy thing difficult?

Dui. I got my first at home, my second in Shanghai.
I'd feel safer flying in with it in my passport though.

Don't quite know how a question about studying Celta/ Tesol in China quickly developed into posts about visas and where to get them.

Anyway, OP....Boland School in Suzhou and elswhere in China runs regular TEFL certificate courses. www.boland-china.com

Can't vouch for their International recognition/value though.
