I don't believe this to be true. As far as countries go, the only ones I know of that will not except distance/online qualifications are Saudi Arabia and Taiwan. There may be others, but it isn't 'many countries'.
As for employers, some schools will care and some won't. I've noticed that most schools in Asia and Latin America that look for a TEFL certificate don't really care where it comes from: they just want you to have a piece of paper to show immigration for your work visa. |
I think he is talking about a TEFL certificate, not a masters. |

Yeah, I understand that. Are there other countries that ban "online/distance" certificates? None that I'm aware. |

| Well, my online course involves 20 hours prak. in a local school, so I guess it is not entirely 'distance education' |
