Or can you go to school while on a tourist visa? Most people get three months when entering on a tourist visa, is there an impediment to enroll in school to study the english language then, if your classes are going to end before the three months and you leave when your three months are up?
Going to study to the US
Thanks Jenn! Trying to find out for a friend. He doesn’t want to stay, he only wants to come for the summer and learn english in a community college type of thing while on vacation.

Gurk asked:


I would like to teach ESL in China in the next few months. There is a company called English First who will certify me through SIT. English First will also place me in a job. The SIT certification is 1,995.00 and CELTA is 2,495. Is is worth paying the extra money to get the CELTA cert. I do not plan on living overseas forever probably just a couple of years.

Shall I go for online or regular class room course? How does it affect my job prospects and study during the course?
