Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / August 2006

I'm looking at studying for a TEFL course with a school in Valencia
Capital, Spain, called English World. This school teaches the course of
the TEFL Institute of Chicago (http://www.teflinstitute.com), which
appears to be part of a larger organisation called the Global Education
Corporation.

My question is: is this course any good? Is it well recognised? Will
schools in Spain be willing to employ me with a TEFL Institute
qualification?

I've heard that the Cambridge (CELTA) and Trinity College
qualifications are by far the most widely accepted. Is the TEFL
Institute qualification anywhere near the level of these?

Thanks,

Samuel
