You would need to pay beforehand. No TESL / TESOL provider allows you the option to defer payments or to have payments deducted from your wages when you become a teacher.

The alternative would be to do a TESOL university program and apply for the HECS system in Australia.

You don't need TESOL to find a teaching job, but with it, the process of finding jobs will be a whole lot easier. Especially if you have no prior teaching experience.

Being certified will certainly make you more marketable but, perhaps more importantly, it will prepare you for the job. TESL/TEFL courses offer a great training opportunity at entry level. They can provide a thorough grounding in a new career and the right tools to approach a new profession. Online courses like the ICAL TESL/TEFL Certificate course, offer a great training opportunity at entry level. They can provide a thorough grounding in a new career and the right tools to approach a new profession within a manageable amount of time and finances.

Of course, one can improvise and become an English teacher simply on the grounds of being a native English speaker. But how would you like it if the person standing in front of you in a class is teaching you by trial and error, improvising their lesson as they go along and basically learning on the job at your expense. Surely you would prefer someone who has taken the time and the effort to prepare himself for the job ahead, learning which are the most effective teaching techniques, how to maximize classroom time, how to make his lessons useful yet fun, etc. Of course we all learn more from doing something than reading about it but having a solid understanding of what you are about to do can only be a good thing!
