"The Works"

Hi all,

Ok, here goes nothing.

I'm a non-native Eng. speaker, but have studied and lived for 20 years in Eng. speaking countries ( I have a native's fluency ).

I'd like to have as many TEFL qualifications as possible. I'm about to start an internet grammar course ( to prepare me for TESOL / CELTA ) while I'm waiting for my visa approval to Oz.

I really would like to have the best (and most) qualifications (courses/certificates/diplomas) out there that can be had in the next 6-8 months period ( it doesn't have to be in Oz).

I'm considering the idea of having "all what is being offered" out there ( from English courses to brush up my English, TESOL/CELTA, Young Learners' extention/s, Business English, CALL, One-on-One, International Exams preparations -preparing students to take TOEFL/TOIEC etc-, Conversation English, DELTA -if possible- or TESOL Diploma -but from a reputible organization/internationally recognized accreditation, ...etc, ...i.e. all that can be acquired in the next 6-8 -or even to 9 - months. I have about a year off from my work/regular life. I'd like to have all these qualification to help me teach English in Japan/Korea while I'm learning either Jap/Kor. next year. I believe having as many qualifications as possible would help to compensate the fact that I'm not a native English speaker, nor hold the passport of an English speaking country).

It's so far been impossible to find one reputable 'place' that provides all what I'm looking for ( ATTC in Australia looks promising, but not that "comprehensive" ).

All suggestions, thoughts, ideas, opinions are welcome.

What "solid" and recognized TEFL qualifications can I obtain in the next 6-8 ( or even - 10) months ( and preferable at the same institution/school ) ?

Thank you very much.....in advance.
