Is Canterbury considered to be reputable in Spain? Also, do you know the penalties if found working illegally there?

What I'm saying is that generic certs are usually ok if they have 120 or 100 depends, hours and 6 hours of teaching practice.


Then I will definitely consider a lesser-known certificate as long as it has the requisite number of hours. Sounds like the name brands are a good way to blow quite a bit of money -- that I don't have -- unnecessarily.

Thanks for your reply!

Check the Spain forums for Canterbury's reputation. As for working illegally it could just be a slap on the wrist, to imprisonment, being fined, banned from the EU. I certainly wouldn't risk it. Sure in the past, way past, things were different, NOw, no way would i work illegally.

Au contraire! I would say that a brand name at least gives you some assurance that you are getting value for however much money you are spending on it. A generic may be cheaper, but also runs a higher risk of being a total waste to boot. Or not. It could be great. You just never know. So, in the absence of knowledge...
