Answer 1

@Ranman...if you really want an ESL certificate and English is your mother tongue, you can get one here. You just have to pass a test. They say it takes about an hour.

Once you are certified, you can go anywhere and teach ESL

Thanks.: ) - Ranman, Sep 13, 2013

Wow, One hour. Are you sure that it's legit: ) Either way, it's just a piece of paper. It's what you do with it that matters: ) - Ranman, Sep 13, 2013
