				I've been researching alot, and making comparisons. I'd like to start out in Eatern Europe (Prague, Krakow). These training courses stand out to me to be the best for teaching in Eastern Europe and/or Asia:
 
 
Trinity
 
ITC
 
TEFL World
 
Global TEFL
 
 
I can afford to pay a little more for the best program. By "Best" I mean, international reputation, quality of training, job placement and housing assistance.
 
 
Which course would you experienced folk recommend?

				You may want to add CELTA to your list.  I recommend them.
 
 
 
Trinity is the only one I know on your list. |

				The internationally recognised ones are the RSA/Cambridge courses (CELTA - for teaching adults, CELTYL for teaching young learners) and the Trinity TESOL.
 
 
Of the others, some are probably fine, some are awful, but none are as widely recognised as the CELTA, CELTYL and TESOL. |
