Re: advice on which tefl course to take!? Anyone?

When you say recognised by the EU, then you wont find one. Anyone can run a TEFL course. What matters is if the school you choose has a good name behind it. So basically you are looking for a good reputable school.

The below is quoted from Wikipedia:

Quote:
There are numerous organisations that issue certificates which vary widely in acceptance. There is no international independent accrediting organisation overseeing the issuing of qualifications in general, although there are national ones, e.g. in Britain, which carry weight in many countries.
Obviously the more expensive the course, it would mean it's an intensive classroom based rather than online. I hope it would mean this rather than meaning it's scamming you.

Stick with the main ones and you will be fine.
