 Posted Jul 12, 2007 by Solnushka Take the _informal_ further trainging that all schools ought to provide CELTA graduates via ongoing workshops, observations by senior staff etc seriously is what I meant. Some schools are better at it than others.
They all take a CELTA qualification seriously.
The further on the job training to go for the QTS status would be done on either a work release basis (ie, they let you not work one day a week), at weekends and in your own time.
The CELTA course is either full time and four weeks long (with _a lot_ of extra work to do at home as well), or, as Wand'rin Star says, on some kind of Part Time basis (with _a lot_ of extra work to do at home). We do a 12 week part time course, which is still pretty intense if you have a full time job too, but I've heard you can do them over a year even.
You just need to find out which type the centres neeed you offer and which one you'd prefer.

 Posted Jul 12, 2007 by Elly- full of the joys of <sneeze> The one I posted is over a year, one night a week and 10 hours teaching during that year. I don't think anything else would work for me.

 Posted Jul 13, 2007 by Elly- full of the joys of <sneeze> won't they all want a native english speaker to teach english? I just went to the TEFL website and there was an ad for a job in London which required native english speakers.

 Posted Jul 13, 2007 by Wand'rin star No - some places use having native speakers as a draw for foreign students, but the najority of EFL teachers in the world are non-native, In many case they do a better job because they've had to learn English grammar themselves Just go for it
