They told me that an online certificate would be sufficient especially since I just want to teach pre-school, kindergarten, or first grade English classes. So does anyone recommend any online programs? I am very interested in these two: TESOL courses/TEFL courses with INTESOL - Central Admissions TESOL Courses/TEFL Courses/TESOL Certification with Global English, UK
Any other recommendations would be great, but the course has to be at least 100 hours or more. Per the agencies request of their English teachers.
Thanks!

HI
Your not moving for a few months and while this isnt online they have plenty of locations for the courses and ways to take it.
Oxford Seminars
Oxford Seminars - Teacher Training Certification Courses Across Canada and the US
It can be taken over 3 weekends and also offered over 2 weekends and the 5 evenings during the week. Its a 60 hour course and then have 3 separate online courses that are each 40 hours and dont take long to complete. They are known worldwide, and have a great jobsearch for the students. The classes are offered all over Canada and the U.S.
You benefit more from in person classes for the course. They have practice lessons for you to present in front of the class, you learn the variety of ways to teach the same lesson etc. 60 hours is accepted around the world as well, the extra is more of a speciality issue. Grammar, teaching children etc. Online cant provide what in person does.
Good luck in Mexico.
