 |
|
| In terms of gaining an entry-level job, how much difference will having one of the two certifications make in terms of quality (salary, working conditions)? Would it be worth the money? |

| It's certainly not essential for entry level job in Japan with the bigger eikawa. For example, AEON do not require applicants to have certification, and having a certificate does NOT mean that you get a higher wage- you start on the same as those without certification. |

| It makes a difference to the smaller schools - I found that it really made a difference to my employability. |

And smaller schools may take better care of you and pay you a higher wage. |

Yes. While a full-time contract may not offer better money, part-time and freelance work does (or at least did when I was there). Having a CELTA/Cert. TESOL makes that easier to do.
