People, this is why I would ONLY suggest the Trinity College Cert-TESOL or the Cambridge CELTA courses. Even though these programmes are offered at language schools, which may go out of business, your certificate will still be recognised worldwide. The thing about the Trinity and the CELTA is that they are audited by the universities during every course to ensure the school is delivering the course as directed. Hence, the school that delivers the course is made irrelevant, as its the certification that has the known name and program. ALL schools that offer the CELTA or Trinity MUST follow the exact guidelines or they will be dropped from a lucrative business.

So in short, why do people take TEFL courses from small unknown schools that may be out of business tomorrow? I will always have the satisfaction that my CELTA is known and is recognised by the British Council no matter if the school that I attended goes belly-up. ..Just some thoughts.
