Hello everyone!

Two years ago I studied in Salamanca for a semester and ever since have been looking for a way to move back to Spain.  Teaching English sounds like fun, but I have a few questions about it.

After doing a lot of research, I've found that I only have time for the online TEFL/TESOL courses.  Has anyone taken them?  Do they achieve the exact same certificate as in-person classes?  Any advice on which program to use (i.e. INTESOL, i-to-i, etc.)?  Is accreditation all I need to look at when choosing a school?

Also, I've been hearing it's nearly impossible for Americans to find work in Spain without years of experience (since it's much easier to hire someone from the EU).  Is this true?  If so, would it be in my best interest to start by teaching at a summer camp and then try to find more permanent work once I'm there?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
