Qualification/applying to programs - CELTA vs. TESOL/TOFEL

[complete_composure]

Hey,

Sorry if this has been asked before - I am pretty set on taking a CELTA course, but while I have been browsing job availabilities in China, Taiwan, and Korea on Dave's ESL Cafe and Footprints Recruiting, I noticed most of the job descriptions require a TOFEL or TESOL certification ... I just want to make sure, am I right in assuming that I can apply to these programs with a CELTA certification, too?

Also, if anyone has any other links to look for teaching job postings abroad, that would be great

Cambridge's CELTA and Trinity's CertTESOL are two of the most internationally recognised qualifications in TEFL/TESOL.

If you are looking for jobs, Welcome - TEFL.com is a good site
