The reason I want to follow an american one is because I am making dollars now and I hardly have any euros. |
A curious thing to say ... both dollars and euros are in fact convertible and highly liquid instruments 
I agree, these courses are expensive. |

That's true too
I forgot to mention that Im also looking at the option of taking the course in Brazil. So CELTA is the way to go, but then again, maybe to get me a foot in the door in Brazil, I don't really need the CELTA certificate?
Another thing I've been wondering about. A lot of times I see websites talking about a CELTA exam. Does that mean that you can follow like a "normal:" TEFL course and than do an external CELTA exam, so you're CELTA certified anyway? |

I've never heard of a 'celta exam'...i doubt whether that exists to be honest. the celta course doesn't include an exam of any kind, just coursework so i reckon it's extremely unlikely that some kind of official celta exam exists. However, i may be wrong as i haven't done any research into telf courses since i took my celta back in 2002. |

| How about an equivalent of the TEFL course that Bridge Linguatec provides? |

I've heard that it's pretty much the same as the celta and costs pretty much the same as well...but it doesn't have the cach� or international recognition. To my mind it seems a bit strange to do a course like that. |
