My fiance and I are hoping of getting jobs in the middle east. I have a BEd and a TESL Canada Certification (from courses taken at my university). My fiance has a BA and 2.5 years experience teaching abroad. He was looking into doing a CELTA course in Vietnam but this would leave me with no income for a month.
I found this online program http://www.ontesol.com/ which is accredited by TESL Canada. After taking the program online, you can apply for a practicum (that can be arranged overseas) and then apply to get the TESL Canada Professional Certification Level 2.
(http://www.tesl.ca/Secondary_Navigation/TESL_Canada_Recognized_Teacher_Training_Programs/Recognized_Teacher_Training_Programs.htm)
It's a whole lot cheaper and easier if he does this course instead. Do you think this would be acceptable for employment in the ME? |

Depends on the employer.
Some will accept it.
Some will not and they will insist on one of the branded ones (CELTA / Trinity TESOL).
