Posted on Wednesday, 16th July 2008 @ 11:08pm
Salaam ppl
Has anyone ever participated in this? If you have what was the experience like?
Has anyone considered doing this?
Does anyone know someone who has done this?
Do you even know what im on about?
If not click camp America.
Was chatting to a woman at work about this and she were saying her son went and had an awesome time. Im think about doing it but there are two things that are putting me off:
No.1 its in America
No.2 you have to trek it all the way down to London to attend a 20 minute interview for a visa.

Why don't you just go camping on mount Snowdon? Or the Yorkshire moors? Or just visit Alton Towers instead?
The frown of a friend is better than the smile of a fool.
Coz thats just boring plus the weather is always crap in the UK. This isnt camping (dont know why they have called it that) you work with kids, get paid for it, the weathers nice and you get to spend 3 months abroad.
Have you never wanted to something different? Something adventurous?

no, thats to teach in a school.
EFL (English as a Foreign Language) qualifications are much easier to get.

oh right. But aint you gonna be be teaching in a school? You said your gonna be teaching english so im making the assumption its gonna be in a school.
Can you do the course online or do you have to go to some sort of centre? How many years does it take to qualify? The reason why im asking so many questions is coz i know someone who is considering it.

By school I mean state-school (like a secondary or primary). I CAN teach English in a language school (which are private).
I dunno about which colleges are in the north, but in London there are loads of English colleges that run teacher training courses.
You can get 3-month part time or 1-month intensive.
Prices range from £500-£1200
I don't think you can do it online, because part of the course is teaching practice.

For a 3 month course its expensive however, its cheaper then a degree but more expensive than a PGCE (they pay you to do a PGCE). Why do you think a lot of ppl become teachers.

There is that but come on would you pay 7k to do a course or get paid 7k to do it? Obviously how much you get paid varies depending on the kind of teacher you want to be. If you want to be a high school teacher say teaching Chemistry you get a paid more than say a nursery/primary school teacher.
Also when you start as a trainee teacher you get paid as well.
Hmm lets see come out of uni with debt
Come out of uni without debt
WITHOUT DEBT!
