Why is there such a shroud covering the TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages) world? For over a year I have been semi-seriously researching certification programs overseas, and the more I look into it, the more I realize that it is very difficult to find a reputable program. Websites such as Dave’s ESL Cafe, and the ESL Blacklist post many negative (in the case of the blacklist they’re entirely negative) tales of certification programs that do little more than drain the already-poor traveler’s bank account.
I have edited this post in lieu of the comment attached. I aggree, Trinity Certification in TESOL and Cambridge CELTA are the two most reputable, and trusted, programs. But there are COUNTLESS international and national programs which warrant suspicion.
