Kim’s Celta Testimonial

Category: Celta, English as an International Language, exams / Tags: , ,

  Have you ever wondered if English teaching was for you? Well, if you are considering a Celta course, why not check out Kim’s testimonial, the course at EC London, to better understand what it takes to gain the world-renowned certificate. Kim’s experience “I completed the Celta course at EC London over a 3-month period, attending two evenings per week plus most Saturdays. The course tutors made us feel welcome and well supported from the start, and along with the central location, modern, friendly environment and up to date technology, this gave me confidence that I could succeed. Assessment started very early in the course and continued each week. There were tight, but achievable deadlines for the written work, with feedback being given promptly so that I had time to make any changes or improvements. Teaching practice was assessed fairly, with specific comments and suggestions which enabled me to develop my skills. As students on the course we were encouraged to self-assess, and to give and accept feedback from each other. The tutors modelled good practice for the teaching activities throughout, so that we had an arsenal of good ideas for our assessed teaching practice. This included support and encouragement for what to do if things did not go as planned (or suggestions for what to do next time)! Having completed this course, I know I have a qualification which includes assessed teaching practice and which is well respected. I have felt confident at job interviews because of this and have been working since completing the course. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to do their Celta at EC. One of our last sessions was on hints and tips for interviews, and how to get work. Shortly after I applied to EC London for a job, was successful at interview and … Read more
