I'm a Canadian citizen currently looking for work in San Diego and had a quick question for those in the know. I'm wondering if the online CETSOL is worth it? I have a MA degree in Spanish (a definite plus in this part of the country) and two years teaching experience in a university, so the practical teaching component isn't of the utmost importance to me. I'm looking for work at colleges here in TESL (as a backup to Spanish), but they all require a TESL certificate, which I don't have. Would doing on online course be sufficient considering my prior teaching experience?

We don't know what the employers in SD want. Why not ask one of them if they will accept the online certificate?

When you say "colleges" do you mean university or community college?

I haven't seen too many of either that have requested a TEFL certificate. Most require MAs. Then again, I've never applied for jobs in San Diego. (Would love to, though, it being my beautiful hometown! Very Happy )
