 |
|
Hello, I know this issue has been debated in other posts and from my understanding both the Trinity and Celta are well recognized. I'm graduating this December from university and I'm planning to do one of these courses shortly after. However, the Celta course is $2400 while the Trinity is only $2000. I know that Celta is the the most recognized and that Trinity is the second one.
I was wondering if the extra $400 was worth paying to get the 'brand name' Celta to maximize my job opportunities in Korea or will a Trinity be enough to land me a decent job? Which one do employers prefer? I just don't want to waste that extra money if the Trinity will do just as good of a job as the Celta. Thanks

In Korea? Not well-recognized and not necessary. |

I wanted to go down that route (and escape the English winter) but, I don't know what it's like for Canadians and Americans, but speaking as a Brit, it's far more expensive for me to do an intensive 'TEFL' certificate in places like that, and that's even before factoring in the flight costs  |

| Neither, but if I were to pick one I'd say the CELTA. However, most Korean employers don't know one from the other. |

I've heard that its cheaper in Vietnam as well, but factoring in the flight costs, accommodations and the fact that I'll be staying in a foreign place by myself, I think it will be easier for me to do it at home (Canada) first before I leave.
So from my impression, it really doesn't matter which one I get cause most Korean employers won't know the difference. That's good to know! |
