Customer Feedback

Trainer was excellent, school was good location and had very good conditions.

Karin Bustillos


The school was very close to the tube and easy to locate. Heather made everyone feel very welcome and relaxed straight from the start of the course and was an excellent trainer.
I thoroughly enjoyed all elements of the course and the sessions were well structured and organised. Heather was always on hand to give help and advice whenever needed.
I really enjoyed the part when Heather explained the methods of teaching English and then having the chance to put this into practice infront of the other trainees.

Susan Horne


The trainer was excellent. He was passionate about his work and it showed in his professionalism and attitiude to teaching. Definitely someone to aspire to! The taster day was such a clever idea, it completely gave us a taste of what the Celta would be, which is hard work but fun.
