    "As mayor I am determined to take urgent action to help clean up London's lethal air. The shameful scale of the public health crisis London faces, with thousands of premature deaths caused by air pollution, must be addressed," Khan said in a statement.

    I wonder how he would describe the air quality in Thailand?

    That is fact: CELTA is issued by Cambridge, and  is taught within both colleges and state higher education establishments.  It is an entry level qualifaction required to teach English as a foreign language.

    Although a CELTA is based on teaching adults, i agree that it is one of the best entry level qualifications for the TEFL industry.  However, most employers prefer applicants to have an accompanying BA/Bs.

    Anyway, what we can all agree on in effect- and any future TEFL qualified enquiree can be sure of this- is that in Thailand anyone without a degree can not legally teach English, because the necessary documents needed will not be granted.

    In most of Asia, too.

    Reason I think she got ripped is she also thinks she has some insurance against death on rd where her survivors will get 10M baht.

    That's complete nonsense.  There are plenty of people with TEFL careers, myself included.   The UK and other European countries has thousands of TEFL jobs, ranging from teachers to course writers and Directors of Study. Entry level TEFL jobs are usually badly paid (I was only earning 34,000 a month when I started here in 2005) but if you're any good, it's perfectly possible to establish a career.  I'm now making in the region of 80,000-110,000 a month, which might still be "low pay" by some standards, but is enough for me and my family to survive fairly comfortably in Thailand.

    If you did this on the back of a TEFL and CELTA certificate, then congratulations.

    Money is not everything i know it is for most which is sad really. I got paid what i got paid money wise and I was happy with my pay. What i got paid in satisfaction is immeasurable.

    So please dont get confused with a working for money or working for children. Theres the real diffrence.

    The difference is, I am qualified and i get a lot of money and satisfaction.  Just remember, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Have a nice day.

    I have seen fegree holders who cant handle a class havent you?

    Yes, most of them without education related degrees.

    Handling a class and being able to plan a lesson with the correct methodology and appropriate objectives that can be quantified to establish that learning has taken place are two different things.

    A CELTA or Trinity TESOL is (in MY opinion) essential, if you're looking at making a career in TEFL

    Please do not get confused between a job and a career as these are the minimum requirements needed on top of any non teaching related degree to get a low paid job in a developing country.

    Maybe I'm being too pedantic here, but unless you have a good qualification in teaching English to non native speakers, such as a TEFL, you shouldn't even be considering it

    Disagree

    Please explain why you think untrained language teachers should be allowed near a class of young children.
