I just have the possibility to take an online course, but I am already struggeling with choosing one^^
Who of you did which course and how was it?
Do you think it is easier to find a good teaching job when you took a 120hours course? (I know you have 4 specialist certificates, but is it really worth it?)
And did you do your course here at onlinetefl.com or maybe another site?

Hi Sandra
I have the same problem. I think the 100 hour course is good value at the moment.
I think I need the basic course and the grammar. There are only 2 specialist certificates that I want to do anyway.
I plan to do the online one. Applying for Japan next year.

I did the 120 hour online course and I thought it was really good! You can choose which specialist certificates to do, so you can pick the ones which appeal to you. I would say it's worth doing because you get a bit more in depth knowledge out of it.
However, it probably wouldn't make it easier or harder to get a teaching job, whichever you picked. Most places won't look in that much detail at exactly what you covered in the course. The main seller usually is practical experience.
Obviously this will depend on where you look for a job. I think South and Middle America usually have a fair few teaching jobs going.

South and Middle America would be my favourit places :)
Where are you thinking of teaching?
