Hopefully I can avoid too heated of a debate by starting with what I know. First I know that a face to face course with a practical teaching section is better than an online course without. I also know that there is no such thing as an "accredited" certificate or course, the closest being those offering CELTA programs. That is about the extent of what I know other than my own situation. For me time and money are both tight, that is the first reason I am looking to the online courses. The second reason is that while I know this could become a very rewarding career, I am not certain it will be a good enough fit for me to justify the added expense. If it becomes something I enjoy enough to choose as my second career I fully intend to take additional training to improve myself, just not now.
With that out of the way, what I am looking for is help in choosing a specific program. I do not want to start an argument about which is best as I have seen enough of those to find them unhelpful. What I can hopefully find are the ones to avoid. If you have a company that, in your opinion, did not live up to their end of the bargain or cost more than they should that is what I am looking for. I have tried some of the review sites but there are just so many programs, ads, and questionable reviews that it has just became noise to me.
