| Ok. I live in K(G)unsan. I want to get certified so I can teach in other countries after this. Since I can't go to Seoul everyday, what can I do? I'm leery of doing this online. I called the university here, and they said they'd call me back, but, alas. So does anybody know my options? |

The University of Saskatchewan has a certificate program click here that is a lot of work over eight months but it's entirely doable via distance mode and it's the only program in Canada that's fully recognized as on par with regular on-site certification programs. But how much it'll help you in other countries I don't know.
I am just finishing my second year contract and am going to New Zealand to take a 4-week intensive CELTA course in January before returning to Korea for a third year. It'll help me teach in the near future and - since it's highly respected in other regions of the world - it'll help me get teaching positions in other countries over the longer term. I'm planning six months in Hungary in a future spring/summer (no EU passport needed), as well as back home someday possibly.
So why not take a month off between contracts to do a reputable on-site certificate program somewhere? |

| How would I even begin to do that? I started out in Korea with nothing. I thought maybe I'd do this for awhile until I wanted to go back to the "real world," but now I actually want to do this as a real job. I want to do this in other countries. |

Why do you need an "MST3K" certificate? Why not just download the show and have some fun laughing at their crap!?!
Or is it something that I'm not familiar with?

I didn't think anybody was going to notice that.  |

Op-One thing you can look into is a program being started at Gyeongsang National University. They are offering a TESOL course as well as a teaching internship. The catch is you don't get paid during the three months, but you do get room and board as well as utitlites paid for. Afterward there is a summer camp that pays and it is 4 weeks.
I'm going there in Feburary. I've heard they plan on having another session later in the year after this one is finished.

| Good idea, but the contract I'm in right now ends in August. This is something I can only do after work or on the weekends. Is all hope lost?? |
