  TEFL Taster Courses
"I have been told that 2 day TEFL taster courses cost £200. I feel that this is an awful amount of money to decide whether or not I want to take a new career path. Is this usually refundable/ deductable from the cost of the actual TEFL qualification if I decide to do one? Or do I have to pay full whack again at £850 or so therefore having paid a total of £1050?

PGCE AND TEFL
Q.
Next year, I plan on taking a PGCE (English Teacher Training ) course in order to gain QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) in England. After this, in order to gain experience teaching abroad and to broaden my horizons for teaching jobs, I plan on taking a TEFL course in Bournemouth, in which successful completion results in an "introductory certificate". Is this introductory certificate what I should be aiming for, or should I aim for something higher for a teacher trainee with a PGCE certificate? Also, once I have finished with these two courses, I'd like to gain experience teaching abroad, so would foreign employers regard my PGCE training/certficate as experience, thereby increasing the number of jobs available to me?

A.
It is possible to take a PGCE with TEFL. As this covers the principles of education as well as teaching English as a Foreign Language, it is usually well regarded as an entry qualification into the ELT profession. Teaching practice can also be done abroad, providing overseas experience - another valued attribute.
