Bridge TEFL Certification

A little self development never hurt anybody, especially when it comes to getting a certificate that one completed a 100+ or 120 hour TEFL certification program. Even if it is online. For those serious about teaching English as a Second Language abroad, especially those who already have a lot of foundational experience in the field (it probably is not as effective as someone who is just getting into teaching or who has never worked teaching English to speakers of other languages) it's a pretty valid program to take you to the next level or at the very least hook you up with some teaching coaching as well as resources for a reasonable price.

I came to know bridgeTEFL because it is an accredited program and I was considering my options in Korea since the job I thought was sure was going to come through in Japan is being a little silent in our communications compared to when I first started correspondence with them before our interview. I think it will be ok because the interview was very positive and they sounded like as soon as I had my graduation materials they wanted to hear from me, not to mention they have some spring placements unfilled. So if you have a B.A. already and want to start work right now, contact me.

Anyway, in Korea if you have this certification you can make an extra $100 dollars a month, and the program is 450 dollars right now. That means it pays for itself in four and a half months. Not too shabby if your teaching program gives you perks for developing your skills.
