What Training Class Certificate (120 hr, 4 week with practice teaching) is best for getting jobs worldwide? What about in Korea, Vietnam or Eastern Europe?

Thanks for any ideas.

CELTA is the recognized name brand. Generic certs are also generally recognized, so long as they include that key supervised teaching practice on real students.

CELTA; Trinity and IH ar good ones. Other places have their own progerammes, just make sure they have at least 100 hours and 6 teaching hours.

Note, however, that prestige isn't the only factor to consider. There is also the content of the course! CELTA is primarily focused on adults. Trinity Certificate is more likely to be with young people. Having said that, when you're qualified, if you're flexible you can move between these student types.
