Not at all Fran. You’re going to be OK :) Do you have a TEFL certificate at all? That will really help you get a good job.

First of all, thank you for this article. I’m very interested in TEFL in Thailand. I have a BA, but I’m not a native English speaker. I’ve been learning English since I was 5 years old and I’m pretty fluent. Do you think it might be hard for me to get a job in Asia?

Hi April! The CELTA course without a doubt is one of the best courses I’ve done. It certainly is challenging and most of the teachers on that course had done teaching before and had experience under their belt. For teachers who had no experience whatsoever, it was tough for them. I recommend the TEFL course first to dip your feet in the water and see if you like it. If you then want to go the whole hog, go for the CELTA!

What was your experience like doing the CELTA? Was the program difficult as I heard from others it can be quite challenging? Would you recommend the program to aspiring teachers who have no completed a TESL course elsewhere?

I’ve been teaching English for five years in Asia and I feel it has a lot of potential as a career! Do your Celta, your Delta…you can mentor other teachers, be an expert in different areas and end up training others whilst still teaching!
