When I hire people, I am really glad to see a CELTA A-Pass applicant. However, I know that an A-Pass and a Pass CELTA graduate are going to need the exact same training from me. As an employer and manager, I would hire an A Pass over a Pass, but after they've been hired there really isn't a lot of difference.

I think making sure you are a good match for the school you are applying for is much more important than the grade you get in your CELTA. My pet peeve is meeting with applicants who think that all ESL schools are the same, or dress as though they were going to teach Young Learners when the school is for mid-level corporate business people.
