"I appreciate the opportunity the course provided to teach real language learners"

The online part-time CELTA course was a convenient way for trainees with weekday jobs to undertake the course. The learning curve was steep, with a lot of information to take on in the beginning. I appreciate the opportunity the course provided to teach real language learners 8 times — the improvement all trainees underwent was remarkable. The trainers set high standards but gave helpful feedback. Mastering teaching online was challenging and strong skills in PowerPoint and a new computer are necessary. I have made strong connections with my classmates that I hope to maintain for the rest of my career.
