WHAT PREVIOUS STUDENTS HAVE SAID
"Doing a CELTA here has been a very positive experience. I found
the course challenging and stimulating, enabling me to extend my
teaching skills and regain lost confidence after a career break to
have a family. The excellent tuition combined with emphasis on peer
support was rewarding and I managed to gain employment straight
after the course ended." Beccy Mullett, CELTA Sept-Dec 2012
