Re English Teaching Jobs but NO Degree?? (CELTA)

I think the reply is intelligent. You come across as being a bit of an education snob to me. What are you, the head cheerleader for CELTA or something? I think most people could do CELTA and handle it fairly easily. Some of us on the board have had high pressure jobs before, we handled that sort of stress on a weekly basis.

You are speaking rubbish if you think CELTA "qualifies" someone to be a teacher. You just don't wave a magic wand and become a teacher in one month. Your analysis of this subject is an insult to experienced foreign teachers. I don't have CELTA, don't need or want it either. Would be pretty useless at the university where I teach.

EXPERIENCE is what really counts, and being a good communicator. I'll take my six years of (mostly) university teaching experience over some overrated CELTA anyday! Hope you are not in China, or plan to come here. Too many GW foreign snobs here already.
