Not sure if this belongs in the working forum or not, given that:

A) Not Korea specific.
B) Not exactly needed to work.

I was wondering if it is generally good to have a TESOL certificate even if it's from an online source (is it frowned upon?).

How long does it take?

What are the cheapest online places to get one (and quickly is good)?

Thanks

It's somewhat decent to have done an online TESOL/TEFL, but I encourage you to get into on-site program where you'll actually be in a classroom receiving critiques from veteran teacher trainers on your teaching practices.

Is this site/program sets any good?

I like the 100 hour TESOL certificate and the CTBE (Business English certificate).

I could use those for my future jobs, would it be wise to have both or would a TESOL be sufficient?
