    Dont have any specific info on this but just some stuff I got in conversation with two guys in Krakow last month:

    Both of em doing it somewhere near Krakow(Poland). One did the TEFL course, and the other did some other course in the US.
    Both courses took approx a month I think.
    They said the money was nothing fantastic but better than average wage for the country you teach in.
    Their place was run 6days a week with maybe 6hrs a day.
    You dont have to be able to speak the local language and in fact a lot of places would prefer you dont as you are there more to give those learning a more natural grasp of the language - i.e. turns of phrase, tone of voice etc.

    If you've a college education you can get to teach in Japan without any teaching background or experience. It's sometihng that I've been seriously considering for the last 2 or 3 years, I "may" be applying soon;)

    I think Korea and Japan are some of the better paid places to go to if you want to actually make money to bring home. most places like Eastern Europe you should get enough money to be comfortable but obviously the money won't amount to a whole lot when you return home. It seems like an efficient way to travel and if you're lucky a job you'll enjoy also :)

    I think Celta is one of the better known / more popular qualifications but there are loads of them and different places will expect different things - so if you've a country in mind try figure out what qualifications they'll be wanting.

    The weblink ixus gave is excellent - loads of info there :D
