ahh too slow!!

Teaching english as a foreign language. The one I'm taking is actually the Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults. It's recognised round the world as a basic qualification for English teachers, so you should be able to go anywhere with it.
Do you have to have teachers qualifications here?
No. http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/teaching-awards/celta.html
It costs over a grand for a four week course though!
I now have ideas. But is it practical![]()
Just checked the forecast for Barcelona and it's raining there as well this week.Still, gotta be better than this.

The weather is rubbish, and you hate may hate the UK, but deep down you know London is the best city in the world.![]()
Same here it's another fuc**ng washout this summer, constant rain and it puts everyone in bad form, im sick of it, if i didn't have loads of bills id be up and away![]()
Yep absolute gash thanks to this weather and the roads i've missed my flight to serbia for exitEarliest flight i could get back on is tomorrow evening at 5-rubbish
I worry whether I should buy property or not here........thats our plan at the moment BUT if boyfriend loses his job he is seriously thinking about going abroad. Which means we could both go.
Take your CELTA course! I took it a few years ago and it was excellent!
Most 'good' schools overseas will require you have it and you can get much better jobs with it.
It's also good for picking up weekend work in your home country like teaching people how to teach English etc.
Fun stuff.
I really should use my CELTA..took it 5 years ago and used it at the time teaching overseas.
Holly G, it's such a good course, you're going to learn so much from it!And you're taking it in Barcelona.. I took it in the oh-so-exciting Petts Wood!

Petts Wood near Orpington? Glamorous.
That's really good to hear about the course.![]()
yep... that Petts Wood!
Except the teaching practicum part of it consisted of me teaching about eighteen 18 year old unruly Italian boys
They get you teaching in your first week. You learn a LOT in just a short amount of time.
Have you planned to go anywhere else after Barcelona to teach?
I quite like the idea of South America, but I haven't made any plans. I'm hoping to find work in Barcelona initially and see how I get on. Where did you teach?
Yeah, basically Im seeing this as a passport to just go anywhere really. Can't wait to get my teeth into it, but I wanna save a bit of cash first.
