Will I be qualified with CELTA?
"I am considering TEFL as a career change. To give you a little background:
I completed a PhD in English Literature at London University during which time I taught undergraduates part-time for 2-3 years. Since gaining my PhD in 2004, I have been unable to secure a permanent lecturing position. Consequently I have followed a parallel job path. I have worked temporarily as a personal assistant in a number of academic and research-oriented environments, mostly charities and universities, while writing my thesis up as a book for publication. In between these positions, I have done some additional university teaching and freelance writing and editing work.
I would like to work in Barcelona. I am thinking of enrolling on a 4-week full-time CELTA course that starts in July. The course includes 6 hours of observed teaching practice. My only concern is whether this course will be sufficient for me to apply for jobs in Barcelona? I suspect that Barcelona is a very popular destination for TEFL teachers? I also want to ask how much experience it is necessary to gain before applying for permanent jobs in the UK?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated. "
