Looking for advice with CELTA or TEFL

    Hey there,

    I have taught in Dubai (primary school) with a degree only (no TEFL cert) for 1 year.

    I am now going to England to do my PGCE to be a qualified teacher. Would a CELTA or TEFL be a bonus on top of this?, Would the PGCE would be enough?
    Would a CELTA or TEFL make it easier to get into teaching in Universities in some countries, when combined with a PGCE?

    On TES, all that seems to be required is a PGCE for international primary schools abroad.

    But I d love to know if its worth my while to do a CELTA or TEFL as I ll be home next summer (2009) in any case and I may as well do something constructive whilst I wait for the new term to start.

    My half-asleep Celta-trainer wife is telling me from bed that in order to get a University teaching job in Europe that you'll need CELTA but the PGCE won't help all that much (I understand that you're getting this for different reasons).
