There are many course providers offering different levels of service to teacher-trainees.

You can get a TEFL certificate at a local university, at a local language school or online. The best certificate is arguably the CELTA. It is an intensive and expensive course and it is recommended that you have at least a couple of years experience teaching before taking it in order to get the most from the course.

Many providers offer in-house courses ranging from a weekend to four weeks long. There are also a number of reputable online course providers where you can take an entry level course entirely online.

If you are new to teaching and want to "test the water" as it were, perhaps the best option is a cheap online course to get your first job. If you like the lifestyle and work then you should follow this up later with a more robust course like the CELTA. A word of warning. There are many poor quality courses on offer from fly-by-night schools. It is strongly recommended that you check out course providers to make sure they are reputable. The TEFL Course Review site is a good place to start.
