Customer Feedback

Really great school, teachers were so friendly and helpful. There was always a great atmosphere in the classrooms.
-Chloe Cunningham-

The school and trainers were excellent. They listened to our concerns and supported us through the 4 weeks. The course was very comprehensive.
-Bob Manekshaw-


The course was as intensive as expected, but the workload was actually not as bad as I thought! It was more covered than I imagined it would be.
The course was professionally run. The tutors were very experienced and supportive. Other teachers at the language school also assisted with lesson preparation.
-Louise Coe-

The Cambridge ESOL CELTA course is a four-week, full-time course which provides initial training in TEFL. The course includes a variety of input sessions on topics such as teaching methodology, language awareness and phonology, observation of experienced teachers and six hours’ assessed teaching practice. Each course is assessed by a Cambridge ESOL assessor, on a one-day visit towards the end of the course.

The syllabus covers:
- Learners and teachers, and the teaching and learning context
