Combined Versus Online Tefl

Just looking for a little advice on the difference between the courses. I'm just wondering with the purely online courses, is it harder to find work? Does it mean you can't work in certain countries?

ACELS CELT (c. €1000) or CELTA (c. €1500) are the way to go. My advice is to forget these cheap piddly online and combined courses; you will not be employed in Ireland with them. I'd imagine reputable schools outside Ireland would also not equate a 40 hour combined or online course with a month-long/120 hour ACELS or CELTA and their 6 hours teaching practice. Understandably enough.
