Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching

 What past trainees have said about the course!

“Having just completed the full-time CELTA course at BLC, I can’t rate it highly enough. A working teacher from day 2 of the course, the tutors leave no stone unturned in encouraging your development into the confident, skilled TEFL teacher you know you can be. The programme couldn’t be more thorough and the staff couldn’t be more supportive – the rest is up to you! Enjoy the experience.”

On the pre-course booklet

An extremely useful tool!
Heather, April 2003

It really "opened my eyes" about the topics that would be covered, the structure of the course and the CELTA course.
Kylie, July 2000


On observing BLC teachers

Very useful - I found it very helpful to have the opportunity to observe experienced teachers.
Kelly, Full-Time January 2002

The 4 teachers observed were very helpful, all with their own styles and it was good for me to see how they put the methods and suggestions that we had been learning into practice.
Kylie, July 2000


On peer observation


Extremely helpful and confidence building.
Louise, August 2002

Interesting and very helpful. It creates a good balance and really helps you pick out your strong points and weaknesses.
Vanora, September 2002

I found observing the others to be of enormous help.
Ignacio, December 1997

Very useful. Observing makes me more aware of my own faults as a teacher and gives me ideas for future classes.
Lavina. Jan-Apr 2003


On the tutors


Very useful constructive observations and support from BLC teachers. Guidance always given when needed.
Heather, April 2003

Very helpful, both tutors were very supportive and gave just enough advice.
Laura, April 2003

I found the course tutors to be friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. This helped to create a good, positive attitude amongst the student teachers.
Mel, August 2002

Tutors gave good guidance and encouragement throughout the course.
Graham, Apr-Jun 2002

The tutors were all very helpful and encouraging. Thanks !
Kathryn, Full-time July 1999

Outstanding trainers!!!!
James, July 2001

I must say I didn't expect so much help - that was great.
Sylvia, February 1999

I was very impressed with the instructors' energy, patience, charisma and understanding of the material.
Stacey, October 1997


On feedback

Feedback was superb and very fair. Constructive criticism with encouragement. Exactly as I like it!
John, May 2001

I found it very useful. I think feedback is what makes you improve. Excellent.
Samar, September 2000

It helped me to see areas I was progressing in and I used the written profile to help with the next lesson. It is useful to hear the comments about your peers as you can identify with their positive and negative parts of the lesson and learn from them yourself.
Kylie, July 2000

It is great to have the opportunity to receive this kind of feedback.
Sylvia, February 1999

Feedback was extremely helpful, especially feedback and written profile from tutors.
Greg, July 1998

The feedback was very useful and dealt with in a very supportive manner. Any criticisms were always constructive and written profiles very detailed and useful.
Geraldine, May 1998

Essential - professional and constructive.
Alex, February 1998


On the course as a whole

After 10 years of training courses, seminars etc. I can honestly say that this course has been the most useful, relevant, well-structured and motivating ! An excellent basis for anybody wanting to go into teaching English.
Victoria, September 2002

The course has been excellent - really solid training.
Victoria, January 2002

I've really enjoyed the course. I found it extremely challenging and stimulating.
Valeria, October 2002

Be prepared for a very intensive course, but well worthwhile and essential for English Language Teaching.
John, January 2003

I think the teachers are great and the entire class was run very professionally…I would definitely recommend this class to friends - and of course, I will.
Lisa, November 1998

Everyone stresses how intensive it is : there's no doubt about that, but it's also rewarding…Thank you all for an excellent course, very professionally run.
Paul, May 1998

The course is very well-structured , we covered what I expected to cover (and more) I've learned a lot. And the tutors…were great, professional and helpful and patient.
