Hi,

I've been reading a lot on this site about the different certification programs and have noticed that some here recommend getting the certification in the country where you want to teach. My question is, would a certification gotten in, say, Ecuador be widely accepted in the rest of Latin America if I wanted to move around? Or in the rest of the world? Also, I'm looking to spend less than 1,500 - is that feasible? So far, highest on my list is the Oxford Seminars course since it's cheap and taught nearby.

Thanks all!

Cheap doesn't mean good. Oxford Sem is substandard. YOu need at least 120 hours and 6 pracitce hours. If you get a quality cert, it'l be recognised all over the world. Try PMing Justin Trullinger, he was in Ecuador for 6 years.
