Yeah, I either forgot about that, or more likely, “wishfully-thought” ShaoLeFen’s post said that his wife had one. I’ve just checked, and he didn’t mention it, so I sneaked a mention of the certificate into my earlier post. I wonder if she could easily get one from her home country.

Edited to add:

I can’t vouch for the information below, but I thought I’d add it in case it might help (but I hope it does no harm):

> I know of a lot more than one person who have applied for an ARC with an online TEFL certificate. It is almost impossible to confirm if the certificate was done online or nnot. The MOE doesn’t accept online degrees for positions in public schools or universities but other than that it is one huge gray area.
