I'm thinking of a new career in teaching English. I'm a native English speaker with a BA(Hons) Degree and I'm a Graphic Designer by trade. This is what I know so far:
The best 2 courses for teaching English to adults (which I think I would prefer) are the Cambridge 'CELTA' and the Trinity 'TESOL'.
I understand that The British Council and HK Polytechnic offer the CELTA course early next year - but the dates aren't confirmed yet. Does anyone know of any other good courses?
Has anyone taken these courses? How quickly did you find work afterwards? Where are the best types of places to apply for work? I understand that because I am here in Hong Kong on a dependent visa it will be fairly easy to obtain a work visa in this profession?
Please warn me of the bogus courses. I know there are a few around and I don't want to waste my money!
Any advice will be appreciated!
Thanks.
