Hi,

I've just got a few questions about teaching in Japan that I hope someone can answer.

I have a commerce degree and have been working as a researcher & journalist for 2 years. This is my only work experience. I have also studied overseas for half a year. Are these qualifications/experience enough or should I get a teaching certificate?
I'm tossing up between ECC, AEON & Nova although I've heard bad things about Nova. Which would you recommend. Are these organisations easy to be accepted in to?

Cheers.
