Indeed, a good strategy. The main thing that a person without sufficient qualifications is working on educating him/herself further, which is a good and honourable thing to do. No objections and all respect to those following this path. What we don't need in that industry are the unqualified know-it-alls like DOSes or similar folk who know nothing and just have a big company mouth and who are the worst lackeys of their rubbish training centre. They are the real low-lives and not those who want to learn and study more to become better teachers.

And you come to China doing a kindergarten job ("crappy training centre" or kindergarten otherwise) - but at the same time doing an online Post-grad course in TESL/TEFL - i'm sure there is many here that would say that is a good strategy.
