First of all, thanks for the opportunity to share my experience of taking the CELTA course in Melbourne.

Doing the CELTA course was among one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had my doubts whilst still considering it, but know I can say "I have done it". I really feel proud when people ask me about myself and I can reply "I've done the CELTA"!! This qualification also has a highly treasured space in my resume.

Doing CELTA wasn't easy for me as I myself speak English as a second language. I had no idea there was so much to the English language as a whole. The CELTA was an eye-opener as I finally got to know the reasons behind why I was speaking and writing English in its particular way.

The CELTA course in Melbourne was demanding and I realised why it was called intensive when I started it. Since then I have learnt so much.  My CELTA tutors were amazing; they were so supportive, encouraging and incredible in the way they presented the whole course. They were approachable at any time of the day and they helped me to find out and do things for myself which gave me a sense of satisfaction and achievement at the end of the day. I will always be grateful to them.

Teaching real foreign students was the highlight of this course. We were able to put into practise everything we learnt and I was able to realise how effective I was while teaching. I was able to pick out my strengths and weaknesses through feedback from tutors and fellow colleagues.

I believe doing the CELTA has brought me to a higher pedestal in my life. I have learnt to teach English which is definitely my greatest achievement. I have also learnt to believe in myself which is a lesson for life. So, yeah, I come out of this course winning both ways. I would definitely and very honestly say that I do not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone who wants to become a somebody!!!

I participated in the CELTA course in Melbourne in 2011. It was a fantastic course to be involved in as a younger student. It is a very fast passed course and there is a lot of information and knowledge to cover in a short amount of time, however the experience of learning and teaching together as a group, was definitely worth running around like a headless chook trying madly to finish projects, while trying to write lesson plans.

As much as I taught them, they opened my eyes to a whole new side of life, which I will never ever forget, and will ever be grateful for.

The foreign students I met and taught during the CELTA course were delightful and it was so amazing to learn from them, as much as I taught them, they opened my eyes to a whole new side of life, which I will never ever forget, and will ever be grateful for.

The CELTA tutors in Melbourne were great. They were very helpful and their wealth of knowledge and experience was astounding! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is looking for an adventure.

I did this course in 4 weeks, and my only word of advice, as a first year uni student, who recently finished high school - treat this course as though it’s your final year at school.

I think one thing that many of the participants found overwhelming was the pace and degree of work we were expected to finish in the time we had. While the work involved is a big part of the course, don't let it discourage you from discovering a whole new side of life.

Whether you want to start your career as a young person, and travelling the world or change your career direction, and share your experiences, you'll love taking the CELTA because it’s so rewarding!

"Completing a CELTA program was essential in terms of being able to secure employment in the highly competitive Beijing ESL market and provided excellent preparation for teaching. The opportunity to deliver real-life classes is a unique and extremely valuable component of the CELTA course and was key to building confidence in the classroom. While the CELTA program is an intense experience it was thoroughly enjoyable and one I'd recommend to anyone considering teaching English as a second language."
