Has any one actually worked wiht Bridge-Linguatec? I have looked at post on the cafe, but have not seen many post from people who have experance personaly with this company...
It looks good on paper, would it be a good way to atleast get your TEFL? Then move on as you got experance?

HEy,

I too was looking into Bridge linguatec- but to first get my TEFL certification with and then apparently they give you a job. Do a search on all the forums for Bridge linguatec, and it seems pretty mixed reactions; it seems that the course is over priced, although it does have the highest level of recognition in the country, plus they aren't too good at giving you the jobs afterwards. Saying that though, there does seem to be a consensus that working for them is alright, but as they are a big international company, its not as personal as you might like; i think they send you out to places around the cities, rather than being in one base. There's a tiny wee description of them at the bottom of here- http://4gringos.com/index.php?q=chile/Teaching%20English

I have now decided to get my certification back here in Scotland, bc i can do my CELTA here; as for work, they are maybe worth a try, I guess it maybe depends on if you get stuck with a long contract?
