What is the best CELTA certification program in America?
Can you teach in the Middle East with a Bachelors Degree and a CELTA cert?
I also studied Arabic for a few years and I am half Lebanese . . . Will these things help when applying for mid-east jobs? |

You won't be getting much in the way of employment in the ME with BA + CELTA.
Ask your questions on the ME forums, but remember that you need experience (usually on top of an MA) for most ME jobs, especially in the Gulf. |

I find it particularly annoying when people ask such purely subjective questions as "What is the best..."
"Best" is entirely a matter of opinion.
CELTA is the brand name for a particular entry-level TEFL certification course. It is reasonable to expect that CELTA courses would be pretty much the same regardless of where you do the course. Not just any TEFL certification course can call itself a CELTA course. Read and learn: http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/teaching-awards/celta.html |
