TEFL courses / the knowledge workshop

[guest2013-1]

http://www.theknowledgeworkshop.com/tefl.html provides a language course (3 weeks) I can take to teach english to foreigners. Not sure if they're 100% legit.

Anyone can shed some light onto it or recommend accredited institutions?

WITS Language School has an internationally recognised TESOL course (http://www.witslanguageschool.com/Default.aspx?tabid=105) but I see you're in Cape Town so maybe check out some of the places on this page: http://www.teachkorea.co.za/pages/training.htm

Where are you considering going to teach English?

Probably the Middle-East or Asia. Haven't decided yet.

Judging by your writing you're not like the fellow I recently met in Korea teaching English.
He was also from Cape Town, and could not speak English or Afrikaans very well, and even had difficulty reading his employment contract.

Korea has become wise to this and now do a few more check on SA applicants to ensure that English abilities are what they expect.
I was embarrassed when a senior public figure informed me that two SA teachers in as many months had just been sent packing because they misrepresented themselves on their CV's and application forms.
