is a TEFL certificate really useful?
 

I just turned 27, dropped out of college and am looking to find work abroad teaching English. Can a "TEFL certificate" help me out with that? I don't plan on finishing my degree anytime soon. Where is a good place to get a reputable/accredited certificate? Thanks! any additional info is appreciated.

I think it can definitely help, but it's not always necessary to score a job. It may depend on the country you're interested in teaching in...as well as the school - location, quality, reputation, etc. I was looking at teaching, and don't have a certificate, and found a lot of opportunities in Asia; although I'm not sure what their degree requirements are. Korea, China and Japan are in a high demand for english teachers, so I'm sure you can find some jobs or programs that just want you and your native language!

wow she said that well

from my understandings, some dif countries have dif requirements. I was looking into this in italy and an undergraduate college degree was required, keep that in mind.
