Customer Feedback
The school has good facilities and the trainers and my fellow trainees were lovely people. The course was very intense! Lots of hard work, but worth it in the end.
-Selina Salvatori-
The CELTA was extremely intensive. All the seminars were very helpful and gave me the knowledge to develop my teaching skills. The teaching practice was hard but a great opportunity to test what I had learnt during the seminars and to improve my own teaching.
-Stefania Burelli-
The trainers were absolutely fantastic, so supportive and were just brilliant. The school had a really friendly atmosphere and all of the staff was incredibly helpful.
-Philippa Irwin-
Excellent school, friendly, helpful and very professional.
-Anna Terry-
The school is excellent and the trainers were very supportive, approachable and knowledgeable. It was very intensive but enjoyable at the same time. - Kevin Kerry - March, 2011
