How late can you take the CELTA? (EU Hiring Season)

How late in the year can one realistically take the CELTA, without missing out on the main hiring season for the fall?

For context, I’m a native-speaking graduate with **EU citizenship**, looking to save up as much as I can this summer, before doing the CELTA in either **France or Germany**. Trying to figure out which of these cities is best for my goals of both maxing out my savings and my chances of finding work straight out of graduation.

On the one hand, **Berlin, Munich, and Bretagne** all have intensive courses running from **late August to early September**, which seems to line up perfectly with the main EU hiring period. That said, these are all close second choice locations for me, and that August timeframe conflicts with peak moneymaking period as a server here in Canada.

On the other hand, my top choice, **Marseille**, is running a CELTA course over the month of **October.** Perfect timing for finishing up at my current job, but is this too late for fall hiring in the EU, or even Asia?

What do you recommend? How was it for you? Did anyone do their CELTA or teach in these locations? As mentioned, I’m open to giving Asia a shot, I know that it pays more. But, with my EU dual and past positive experiences with living in Germany and travelling in France, I would love to be able to make those work, and build my language proficiency up while over there, for the long-term.

Thank you!
