Does the grade you achieve in the CELTA matter to employers in SA?

Will an A grade have an impact?

I've also taught arab and kurdish students for my local government authority. Smile

I highly doubt that they would even notice.

I think they are not in the least interested. They usually want to know that you still have a pulse.

Why aren't they interested?

The Cambridge stuff is neither here nor there. CELTA A, B or Pass mean nothing. A DELTA counts for little either. An MA in Applied Linguistics or TESOL are of far more relevance in this context.

And still they only care that you have the MA. They will never look at grades if your program gives them.
