CELTA course providers exist to make a profit and will gladly take your money for a teacher course whether you are a native English speaker or not. CELTRA training places are businesses looking to turn a profit. You are the customer!

Schools on the other hand want to promote their schools with faces of native English speakers and use this fact in advertisements and flyers. Much easier for them to get students if they employ native English speakers.

Comparing CELTA courses to English schools is not really doing any justice.
