				| 
 |  
				| Hi All, 
 I am new to this English Teaching, I am currently working in Zhuhai for a software company and I am looking at doing some English teaching, I have a Bsc in computer Science, some teaching experience mainly computers in different companies I have worked for but I have no formal class room experience.
 
 My question is what Certificate is best, TEFL, TESOL or CELTA,
  Online or classroom  , and what requirements do schools ask for.  |  |

				| this has been asked SO many times. 
 CELTA; Trinity and SIt are the best known.
 
 If you don't want to go with them, make sure it has 120 hours plus 6 of teaching practise.
 
 DOn't do online unless it has a practical teaching component.

				| Thanks naturegirl321, 
 The only CELTA Course I know of in China is in Beijing, As I am in Zhuhai, China I will have to leave my job before doing the course.
 
 Does anyone know of a school in south China that does the CELTA course or any other TESOL course with a practical teaching component.
 
 Thanks.

 Hi nstick13,
 
 Yes I did google it before I posted in the forum and I only found the one in Beijing (Northern China) As I am in Zhuhai (Southern China) a CELTA course in Southern China would be more helpful, The link  http://cambridgeesol-centres.org/centres/teaching/index.do was alot of help as it gives me two more places, that are a lot closer to where I am.
 
 Thanks
