I also think your insinuation that ACTDEC exists purely to enhance Eurolink's sales is incredulous. If ACTDEC's goal was to make money it would accredit many more institutions in exchange for a simple fee payment. We cannot, however, do this by letting any organisation in who simply wish to pay a fee. It is difficult to achieve ACTDEC accreditation and it is well understood within ACTDEC that our low membership numbers are something we need to address. Its only goal is to improve standards in the industry. Understand that ACTDEC is a non-profit organisation. Posting on sites like this to promote yourself, trying to discredit a long-standing and honest organisation like ACTDEC and approaching TESOL with a certain bitter attitude is not helpful to anyone. I realise you may think your blog is helpful, but you are most definitely barking up the wrong tree. So if you are concerned about the qualifications you will need, then the only sure way to find out is to talk to the school(s) where you'd like to work. It often comes down to how the TEFL provider is perceived by the individual employer. This means that each institute, school, or organization recognizes their own Certificate and accreditation comes from good practice, professional standards and reputation. Therefore no course provider can claim to have independent international accreditation. However in most places the basic requirements for entry level teaching positions are a degree plus a TESL/TEFL certificate - not necessarily a CELTA.īear also in mind that CELTA courses are fairly intensive in terms of finance, workload and commitment.Īs for accreditation, there is no independent accrediting body for international TESL courses, despite what ACTDEC and the likes may claim. It is undoubtedly a popular qualification that will open many doors. CELTA has a high profile in Europe, having been massively advertised and promoted for years. “What I like about this new layout is that it’s easier to go back to a section if you need to revise it, assisted by the fact that the information is more segmented, given in smaller bites and that when you hover your mouse over a page on the Dashboard page, it gives you a title.It really depends on where you want to teach and at what level.
