Michaelangello - 2004-11-25

Please, someone explain to me what is with CELTA?

Why do so many schools like EF and IH require you to have CELTA?

CELTA is Cambridge, therefore, it is a British thing. It is difficult for Americans and Canadians to get CELTA certification unless they pay about $2000 and go to one of the special locations which are ussually located in the United Kingdom, how nice, so easy for a Canadian to fly all the way to the UK just to take a CELTA course. SO, why do they make the CELTA course so expensive, and why are there not more places in English speaking countries (excluding UK) that offer the CELTA certificate course? It seems like it is more of an easy excuse for British based companies to indirectly discriminate against not UK citizens.

Also, many places in Europe, like in Germany and Italy require teachers to have an EU passport. I think this is not fair and is a form of discrimination. US and Canadian English schools do not require teachers to have a North American passport only, SO then why do our friends in the EU discriminate against Australian, American, and Candian teachers who do not have EU passports. We are sorry we don't have EU passports, but it is not like we can just buy them on Ebay.

Please, explain, why the UK has a good lock-down on the English School market and won't accept other passports and certificates that are not UK or EU based????? Are they discriminating or just making it very difficult for other English speaking peoples to get jobs conincidently....
