Google on ' CELTA ' and get in touch with the British Council in
Germany
http://www.britishcouncil.de/e/
to check on centres where you can take
it.  Be aware, though, that as a non-native speaker you're always going
to be at a disadvantage in the jobs market.  In many countries you
won't be able to work at all, and this can get very frustrating when
you see jobs going to people with no teaching experience or training at
all, who happen to be native speakers.  Have a look at www.tefl.com for
jobs.

Don't be put off.  Go for it, and Good Luck.
