The only thing that matters is reputation. Some certificates have higher reputation than others; some are considered a waste of time and paper.

There are some places that will hire you just because you speak American. BUT!!! If you walk into a classroom with no teaching experience at all, you are going to be in FOR A REALLY RUDE AWAKENING. I have a BA degree and I am a pretty good student but I am so glad that I took the CELTA course. I would have fallen pretty hard had I not gotten the training from that course. Do yourself the favor and get certified, just knowing the information is not enough, you should learn how to teach the information to people who do not speak your language. Good luck, you will make it. To be honest, you dont need a certificate to get a job overseas, or a BA degree. There are some places that will hire you just because you speak American. BUT!!!
