Thank you for your comment Tiago! :)

You’re right, my conclusion that CELTA is only for native speakers is a bit bold and not an absolute truth. I’m glad it worked out for you, Bangkok sounds great, and your determination paid off!

It worked out for me too in the end — although not in EFL- so it’s all good. I am still considering going back to teaching at some stage, I’ll make sure to update with a new article about it!
