Hello,

I am planning to attend a tesol course, do you know what is the
difference between Cambridge CELTA and Trinity TESOL?
Which is the most widely known and recognised?
Is £650-700 a reasonable cost for a summer course?

Do qualified English non-native speakers find job in UK?

Many thanks!

No difference in status. Trinity places more stress on phonology.

> Which is the most widely known and recognised?

CELTA. Some people haven't heard of Trinity. You wouldn't want to
work for people who hadn't.

> Is £650-700 a reasonable cost for a summer course?

You won't get much cheaper. Minimum course length should be 1 month,
which would be extremely hard work to cover the syllabus. Don't do a
course that takes any less time.

> Do qualified English non-native speakers find job in UK?

Not with grammar like that. Yes, they do, but only with a lot of
experience compared to recently qualified native speakers.

Don't mention it.
