Certification to teach English as a foreign language.

^I mean how do you do it on-line, are they all done on-line?
I don't know shit about TEFL but i thought it was done in a classroon type setting?

I suppose you would do it in the same way as an open university degree the course work sent to you and you send it back for marking.

"big letters" do you mean capital letters .... sorry but its a long time since i attended elementary school

Appears that the LAW Degree has wiped out any common sense that the dude had before so now he will be qualified to operate a street Som Tam stall.

Chiang Mai is a bit uncommon for Thailand as it's probably the only place where more people want to teach than teachers really are needed. Still plenty of opportunities if you don't mind the low salary.
I guess I could give you a few recommandations tho, as I used to live there, and still have a few friends in town.

About as much use as a chocolate teapot. And probably more expensive. If you're going to do it, do it properly.

Ding Dong Ajarn calling?

And just in case the original enquiry was not a wind-up:

Cambridge ESOL: Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA)

How do you learn to teach on an "on line course"?

Is there some kind of interactive shoot and kill game to teach class discipline, classroom management, thinking on your feet.

I know I'm a bit out of date but it seems a bit weird.

mutiple choice maybe

You're very out of date. I'm currently training to be a commercial jet pilot. Online.

Nothing wrong with the odd typo and grammatical errors and big letters all over the place, I think he will make a fine teacher just like his mate tsicar

all you need is a cell phone to teach in thailand.

once you tell the agent you have a cell phone number, they will be delighted because they and their dizzy customers can make themselves feel important by getting calls from you on their cell phone while everybody else is watching.

this is not a joke
