This is gold!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this valuable info. Liked and subscribed! 🙏🏻
Thank you for being so open and to share some small details....i know where to do my course now
Totally agree about the gradin system! We’re all still awaiting our results but have been told we all passed. In saying that, there were some whom I’d thought were borderline pass, and others who were better, so if we all get a standard pass, it won’t reflect the discrepancies within our group, just the standards that Cambridge upholds for everyone.
This video is pretty useful 🙌🏻
Thanks Diệp Anh! are you thinking of doing the CELTA?
My question is I'm more interested in teaching teenagers, is CELTA the right thing for me? Are there other programs to do that are more suitable for what I want? Thank you
Hi, thanks a lot for the video! But if a person has an official Cambridge certificate (Cambridge Advanced), does he need to pass the test of English anyway before the interview?
Thanks for sharing your CELTA story. A very useful and informative video.
Aww thank you for your comment :)
Eve Hemingway actually, I enjoyed your videos so much that you’ve just got a new subscriber. 😃
@@SeoulForeigner awh welcome! :D
Hi there, thanks so much for the cool video. I just returned home from teaching ESL in Thailand for a year, and I'd really like to teach long term. Is there anything I should read (a book, a blog, etc) before beginning the CELTA application process? Maybe it'd be good to brush up on grammar categories and things like PPP? Thanks again...
Hey! You should check out www.celtahelper.com There's a lot of tips on there including a breakdown of the coursework
Hello ! Thanks for the video ! Im very curious to know about your accent. From which region are you in England ?
Was this in the uk? I’ve applied but I’m so nervous
I took my CELTA course in NYC in 2018 and I 100% agree with everything you said. Another point worth mentioning is how each TP is graded - to standard / above standard. If you're a perfectionist such as I am, you will be aiming for an Above Standard TP ✨
Yeah good point. What grade did you get? I got mostly standard and a few above standard but still got a Pass
@@EveHemingway I got three above standard and the rest all to standard and in the end, you guessed it: pass. I honestly haven't met anyone who got pass B or superior. I was so sure I was gonna get a pass B though...
@@JuanCarabajal yeah they definitely need to change the grading system
@@JuanCarabajal I got a pass A, nice to meet you.
Hi, thanks for sharing your journey through out the course. May I know which institution have you gone through? Is it face-to-face or online?
Hi. I went through Apollo in HCMC, Vietnam and it was face to face
Thank you very much, this video has motivated me more to apply for the CELTA certificate, I do really believe that is worthy despite the fact that is expensive in my country, I am really motivated to work on it
selam hocam. buldunuz mu gerekli miktarı?
Thanks for the video, I stumbled across it. I am heading into Weekend 1 of my CELTA and first assignment! The looming teaching plan for next week haunting my weekend :D Glad to hear they get a little easier with time. I did hear that in Latin America, CELTA is almost a pre-requisite for teaching jobs these days. Anyway, thanks!
Aw good luck! It is well worth the effort and time in the end!
So now that you've finished your Celta, you realised that lesson planning doesn't get easier with time. They ask you to include more and more things in it, and you become more demanding with your own plan.
I hope you did well and enjoyed it.
The CELTA was fantastic experience and I was teaching on day 4 to real, actual students in Turkey! It feels like passing a driving test, you won't use everything but good to know the rules of the road.
I am moving to Madrid soon to teach, it gave me real confidence in the interview.
@@DannyMac888 Buena suerte en Madrid. Que todo the vaya bien.
@@miriamllamas224 muchas gracias Miriam. Cruzo los dedos!
I’m hoping to take a CELTA soon but the grammar side is really daunting. How should I prep for the pre-interview process
I hope you've already managed to enroll in the Celta course. If not: English is my second language so after years of studying grammar, I didn't have to prepare for the interview. However, if you still think you need to brush your grammar knowledge, grab an advanced level Student's grammar book and look through it. Remember, the grammar questions in the interview are quite basic because as a teacher you'll always have grammar books at your fingertips, and it's extremely important that you plan your lessons in advance including that part of the grammar that even native speakers are not familiar with.
Yorkshire? Cheers for the video :) What ind of material is included in Elementary and Intermediate? As in, what's the level of each?
Hahaha yes born and bread Yorkshire! I think it might differ from centre to centre as they choose their own books and pages. We used the new english file books. The elementary were pretty much beginners and intermediate were probably more pre intermediate. But again, it depends on the centre and who they choose
@@EveHemingway Nice one! I'm Wakefield/Leeds through and through. Great channel!
How long was the course?
Hi dear Eve,
if u have information can u tell me whether I can change the date of my Delta course after being accepted. appreciate ur reply so much
I think you should contact the place where you are doing the DELTA
Is it possible to do not pass CELTA? like, does any of you didn't pass? tell me about your experience
Hi, are you able to teach with only the CELTA, or did you have other qualifications such as a degree to help you? Thanks
Hi you can take the celta without a degree but it's recommended to have one because when you try to find a job most countries want a degree above anything else
@@EveHemingway Okay, thank you
Thank you very much for your video. Please share with us the address of the blog you mentioned.
Sorry I forgot to add it in the description. Here it is:

Can you post the link of the website from where you did your CELTA course ?
I've just finished online Celta course with Stafford House, based in London. I strongly recommend it. Since it's online, you'll do it from home, of course.
My dream is to work in Switzerland as an English teacher for children or business adults. What certificate shall I take and is Switzerland strict on qualifications?
They already speak English in Switzerland
Hi,
How much did you have to pay for the CELTA?Thanks
Hey it was about £1300 which seems like a lot but I think it was worth it
How did you handle the no experience in the interviews?
I was just honest. It turns out you'll most likely never be the only one who doesn't ha e experience
God bless you beautiful person
😍
Hi what u recon if I wanna move overseas and teach English? I have no degree and km not a native speaker but I wanna move to Africa and teach English what's ur best idea
Tks and beautiful Chanel 😍
Can you get a refund if you fail the course?
Could you help me ? I HV seen some websites which offer free of cost TEFL certificate, is it valuable to get from these websites? And could u suggest should I go for tefl or celta as I am an IELTS tutor.
Hey! Unfortunately for job applications, these aren't really applicable for most countries. A 120hr TEFL is good to get right now compared to a CELTA as there is a high demand for teachers. A celta is good if you want to improve yourself professionally though
@@EveHemingway thanks for your reply so what would you suggest should I get Tefl from these websites or look for another option?
@@akhleshsharma1340 you can do an online TEFL as long as it's more than 120hrs and some teaching observation time. I'm afraid I can't recommend a company as I did the CELTA. One reason I did it is because there are a lot of scams for TEFLs online so it was kind of a safe option
Nice video.. very Informative.. What is your ethnicity??
What is the difference between CELTA and IELTS
If we wanna teach abroad should we do CELTA or IELTS or TEFL??
Hi! You should check with the country as each require different things expecially for the visas. I'm from the UK
@@EveHemingway thanks❤️
So I assume you pay the money after you get enrolled right? I don’t want to pay my money & then get rejected from the course 😅
Yes, you only pay if you get accepted!
Gonna start 20.12. You are so laize fare))
Can I use celta to teach English literature?
No
I found no one wearing Hijab. I wonder if Hijabis are not interested in CELTA or they are not tolerant for it either.
If you look at celta centres in Muslim countries such as Egypt / Turkey, you will see many hijabis in the celta course.
