Hey people check out this article on training and certification that one can attain when they are on the job:

From what Ive seen, it would be more worthwhile for prospective EFL instructors take a course on learning more about the people and culture that theyll be faced with, rather than a TESOL or TEFL certification.

Remember, a degree and TEFL/TESOL training are not a requirement for almost all English teaching jobs in Asia.

On this board, many prospective teachers want to know the value of their TESOL ticket and wether itll get them that good teaching position at a nice business.

I see lots of unhappy English teachers just waiting until theyve honoured their contracts so that they can jump on a plane and leave. Lots dont make it that far.

Learn about the country - people and culture - youll be living in.

Might even be more valuable than any TEFL ticket you earn.
