Like most people, my money is short, and I am intimidated by some of the prices I've seen for TEFl certification. My goal is to teach in Brazil, Italy, Prague, or Greece. For this, I need TEFL certification. I recently came across a company called i-to-i (http://www.onlinetefl.com/goabroad/), and they offer an affordable online TEFL course that runs for 2-3 weeks. My questions are:
1. Are these guys reputable?
2. Do employers prefer online versus in-person certification?
3. Should I be paying more than the $295 this company advertises?
4. Given that they do not offer guaranteed placement (or assistance), am I hurting myself by going with these guys?
5. Given my country choices, will I have a hard time finding work? Should I only go with a country that offers full job support?
6. Are there better online companies I should go with?
7. Should I not consider online companies at all?
Do employers care whether I have online certification or not
