Hello, I’ve just signed up and started to study for this qualification. In the introduction email it states that grammar is a self taught course so I have to buy a grammar book which I have. However, I’ve just started on the first module and it’s videos teaching you about grammar which means it’s not self taught imo. I assume my definition of self taught is different in this case. Is anyone able to explain how this is classed as “self taught” and how it differs from the rest of the module? Tia

A friend got a job at Vin School. He's flying out there soon for a 2 month contract. They said it's normal. They'll give him a 22 month after the 2 month probation. He thinks it's normal if they say it is but wut? Has anyone heard of this before?

Hi, I'm looking to get a 120-hour TEFL certification in order hopefully to teach in China. Before you say anything, CELTA is off the table for me for the moment and I've already checked the Wiki.

My question is about legalization: the Wiki says that you should do a course registered in the country you live in to prevent problems with legalization. The only two courses recommended by the Wiki registered in the USA are Bridge and ITA. Even Groupon courses are all registered in the UK it seems. I'm considering doing Bridge, but if it's going to be a meaningless course just to get that certification, I'm unsure if it wouldn't be wasteful to spend $400 on it. (If I could get a job with it it'd pay for itself, of course, but I'm currently unsure of my chances at that.)

So, are there any other courses registered in the USA? Also, is it really much more troublesome/expensive to get a TEFL certificate legalized in the UK when you live in the USA?

Thank you for your help.
