Hi,
I'm wondering if doing an online TEFL course from somewhere like TEFL Academy of Ireland would be enough to get work teaching online.
I currently work in retail (been caught in the retail cycle for years tbh) and would like to teach online as an opportunity to earn more and to start moving out of retail.
I have a degree in English and Irish,and a Research Masters in the use of the Irish language. I'm wondering if these qualifications and an online 120hr TEFL course would be enough to secure online teaching work?
I totally understand that to teach in person or in Ireland that a CELT or CELTA course is the route to go but unfortunately I can't take the time out to do a full time course.

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
