Which is the easiest on-line TEFL course? I'm a certified teacher, have had education classes coming out my ears (90% of which are useless in the first place), and am not looking to "learn" jack squat about teaching.

I just want the piece of paper for a job that's requiring it. Anyone knows if there are places that will basically give me the paper when I give them their $200?

Thanks

I found KEI-TEFL to be a bit on the easy side. It's only 200,000 KRW. It was really quick for me. Since I actually took this course, I feel I can say something about it. Some people on this board talk about TEFL courses they've never taken. I don't trust their words as much as if they had actually taken course X or Y.

I don't know any other online TEFL courses because I haven't taken them.

KEI is one, but not necessarily "easy." The nice thing about that one is that it's approved by SMOE, and you can take it with or without the on-site teaching. Just make sure whatever course you take is over 100 hours.

Also beware of some courses that charge loads of cash, yet aren't even helping you learn how to teach the age that you're planning to teach.

Otherwise, why not see Dave's front page? He has a list of paying advertisers, too:

Yeah, me too. I just want the raise w/out actually having to do anything except fork over 200.000 K-beans.

ITTO was pretty easy, it was work though. I only paid 295.00. It was worth it. Just finished it last week.
