Whenever I see these videos saying how intense the course is regarding homework, I feel more and more that I should take the one day a week option and do it over a longer stretch. I don't want to rush it, I want to be able to savour and process it. I might well do this once my daughter is no longer home-educated. I find it a very exciting idea.
With the online CELTA there’s also the option of an evening CELTA course done over an even longer period of time.
I've done it part-time in the course of five months and the first month was excruciating. Can't imagine doing it in a month.
That was great. Thanks so much!
Hi Poppy. I'm starting my CELTA on Monday!!! Because of the lockdown it's going to be fully online. Also the teaching practice. I'm so scared. Fingers crossed for me please. And thanks for sharing.
Good luck!
Hi Diana, I'm also taking an online CELTA because of the virus starting in July. How is the online CELTA? How is the teaching practice? Is it still 6 hours of teaching?
Ciao, com'è andata?
@@thsu8 yes, but it is going to be 5 weeks instead of 4
@@sof_ram I ended up taking the part-time CELTA which is 10 weeks instead of 4. Much easier to manage.
I can’t digest you’ve only got 140 subscribers. I simply couldn’t believe it. I took it as 140 million subscribers but it seemed too much. You deserve much more appreciation poppy. Good luck
I love to go for Celta but I must try double harder to make my grammar stronger as much as I can put effort cuz unfortunately I have some difficulties in grammar and pls do pray for me I wish u all get what u want and what u wish to get god bless you Xoxo ❤
I'm taking the part-time course because I don't want to overwhelm myself with the full-time one. Thanks for sharing :)
Would you mind if you send me a message to my Facebook account because I wanna talk to you about CELTA

@@clau_sing_ Yeah 😍 @fer__you__la_ that's it please send me a message or follow me
Thank you for the tips. Much appreciated. Kindly advise on which other grammar books to consider apart from the one you have.
Thank you!
Your video help me. A lot. I am about to take the celta course in the UK un the ínternational house in London
Juan Francisco how didnit go? I’m doing mine next January
Thanks for sharing...
Hello. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Would it be also possible for you by any chance to make a video about the pre-course interview? I'm interested to know how long did it take and what kind of questions were you asked during the interview.
Hi! I am going to start my CELTA in the month of November 2021 from the UK at IH London.
Hi poppy I started celta last week at Leicester uni. Had my 1st 20 min lesson, which i dont think went well I ran out of material as i was doing a topic on compound adjectives with another person who went before me and he said all the points which left me with not alot to say or do. I was the last to teach out of 5 who went before me in the same class but by the time i came on stage to teach i found the students all drain out and not responsive at all. I tried to engage the class with a joke and pic particular students to answer questions but i got not much from them. In the end i was done in 11mins. I have taught secondary IT before and i thought i would do better, how wrong I was. I feel awful as students who haven't taught before i felt did better than me. Any advice? Thanks Shaz
Is the CELTA even more stressful if you don't have any prior teaching experience? Or would it be the same as any other TEFL course in that regard? I am graduating college this December with my B.A. in Spanish, I have a very small amount of prior teaching experience just with volunteering to help with some English language learning groups. I want to teach English abroad but I'm trying to determine whether CELTA would be too overwhelming for me given my amount of experience
Thanx for sharing your experience. Could you recommend some books to read before doing the CELTA course? I'm planing to take the course in autumn this year and trying to do maximum to make it less stressful.
Елена Розина have you take CELTA course. If yes please guide me
Здравствуйте Елена. Расскажите по подробнее о вашем CELTA-опыте. Какие книги для подготовки вам в итоге удалось найти? Что из этого оказалось нужным, а что нет. Буду очень благодарен за ответ.
I applied for the CELTA course in London and got offered a place and then pulled out. The idea of standing in front of 12 trainee teachers and your class and teacher just caused me so much stress. I couldn't sleep for a week after being offered a place. I think its absolutely ridiculous that in order to teach English you need to be in front of all your colleagues, just your tutor and class is fair enough. But really? It just seems way over the top a sort of typical Oxford Cambridge thing. Not even UK teacher trainers are expected to have all their colleagues scrutinising their every move while teaching.
Hi Joe thanks for your comment! Honestly it’s stressful at first but it becomes second nature! I think it taught me a lot about being self confident!
I wouldn’t let that put you off, if you really want to teach you should go for it! Everyone is on a learning curve on that course :)
I would love the idea of being able to teach in Thailand and move around to Rome or anywhere. I haven't PGCE but I know I would struggle with having anxiety of being in social situations and self conscious about correct grammar etc and not just not gonna put myself through that. All the best with your career!
Great Video!! It was very useful considering I'll be taking the course in a few months... I just have a question...since it was formerly known as certificate of English language teaching for adults... are the classes focused on adult students? Do you get to teach adults in the teaching practice or children/teenagers?
hello there, i'm thinking about getting my celta in a few months. got any advice for me? also can you tell me if it helped on finding a job as a teacher
It is interesting how Poppy pronounces an audible "g" at the end of words such as "nothing".
So my aunt saw the course online last week. I never really researched much or at all even. I just applied and I recently received my acceptance. My course begins next week. From all the information I’ve found, It’s apparently going to be very intensive. I’m dyslexic and my spellings are a bit messy. Other than that I’m not worried. But the constant use of the word “intensive” is something I find daunting. I haven’t left myself any prep time, as such. Just this week!😰
So I wanted to ask, what was it like to cope with the workload and actually be happy with what you’re putting out during submissions?
Also, thank you for sharing your experience.
How did it go for you? If you agree that it was intense, what aspects made it intense?
Good morning mam please guide me I want to do CELTA course please guide me Where I have to start
Hello! Thank you for the really helpful video. Do you think that doing CELTA abroad would be a good option? I would like to, so it's a full English experience, but since it's so intense I'm a little worried about being alone abroad...
U can do it!
In celta course,
Is writing the most vital in this course or grammer???
Thank you to share your story...
Thanks for the awesome video. I'm going to take the intensive CELTA course at International House in Cape Town in January, and I was thinking that I was going to be able to explore the city in the evenings after the course...you crushed my plans hahaha.
There isn't time for fun not even during the weekends?
Hi thanks for watching. I honestly felt like I was busy a lot but yes I had some time to hang out with my friends. Procrastination was my worst enemy, as Nike says “just do it” haha.
That way you’ll have time at the end of the day to explore! Hope that helps and good luck!
Yeah, you will probably want to have some time after the course to check out the city! Boa sorte, Tiago :)
Cape town is such a beautiful place, i was also initially planning to take my celta there but my family was vehemently opposed to it, and a compromise was reached that i would take it in British Council, Mumbai....but yeah answering your question i think you will be stuck with assignments on weekends !!
Thanks your experiences are really helpful! I'm thinking of taking Celta but I've never taught English and my English skills are B2 level. Could you tell me how do you think if I should get teaching experience in Japan in your opinion please?
I'm in the same position and my application has just been rejected,, because my essay wasn't 100% grammatically correct.
Comment edit: Not only I was wrong about being rejected, but I even scheduled an interview for next Monday. In the mean time I took the pre-interview task.
P.S. For those who are interested, I passed the interview yesterday.
You need C1 level
Hello, could you tell me, what questions they asked you in the interview, please?
I wanna apply for celta.. It's too hard in 4 weeks to get it.. Thus, I prefert to get in 3 months not to rush your self throught it.. By the way, it's worth to obtain it...
Thank you dear for this viedo...
Did you take a laptop/notebook with you? If yes, is it indispensable?
OMG I’m so sorry I just saw this! I was lucky enough to be in a school where I had access to a computer. But yes I took my laptop and I used it quite a lot honestly!
CELTA is no.1 compared to others
Hello Poppy,I am doing my Delta module 3 and in September I am going to apply for the Celta 4 weeks course, I have a BA in english language teaching so I hope that it will be a little bit easier. I would like to ask you how much time you had to dedicate to extra reading to complete the tasks and in general, because I have a tight schedule, I deliver private lessons so I don't know how much time I am going to have for that.
Thank you in advance
Honestly I feel I didn’t have a lot of extra time. But I didn’t have all of your experience, I think with your background you will absolutely fly though the CELTA!
I’m sure you’ll have time to do both 👍🏻
Good luck 🍀
How did it go for you? Everyone keeps saying it’s super intense but I wish there were more specifics about what aspects felt intense and why. I’m that annoying person who felt college was easy and so I am hoping I will at least be able to sleep 8 hours a night and exercise regularly during my CELTA.
Honestly, university/college was less intense... I would say because the problem with CELTA is the time constraints.
I barely had time to sleep and I was in lectures or teaching all day so the assignments took up all my spare time!
It's a lot but it's only a short amount of time, I'm sure you can do it! Plus working out will help with the stress etc.
Good luck!
Hello , Do you need TOEFL or IELTS certificate to enroll this course?
Hi. I know this is a year late but for anyone else who comes across this, no. At least not at present.
All you need is to be 18+ years old and be qualified to enter into higher education.
The center you're applying to should have that kind of information on their official website.
I m from India but I want to crack CELTA course in London .Is it possible . I wanna go there for study this course .
Hi! Of course it’s possible, you will probably have an interview and a test like I did before you are accepted! Study hard and good luck!
Do you need a C2 or CPE certification before you take a CELTA or TEFL course?
Hi Ismael I’m not sure about the level but they will always give you a little English test! Good luck!
@@poppyinitaly4508 Ok, so it's not a sine qua non condition to take this course...Thanks
Well it depends on the CELTA center if English is not your first language they may ask for some proof of your level. Good Luck!
C1 is required
Hi Poppy! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm from Italy and I'm going to start my CELTA course next month. Based on tour experience, do you think that it won't be difficult to find a job, even if I am NOT a native-speaker?? Thank you in advance and have a nice day ;)
Hi Anna Maria!
Thanks for your comment. I believe as long as you have a good level of English you will be fine!
They wouldn’t have accepted you onto the course if they didn’t think you would be a good teacher :)
Good luck 😉
@@poppyinitaly4508 thank you so much for your kind reply ;) would you recommend reading a specific book before the course, apart from the one that you mentioned in the video??
Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Was it hard to get accepted? I have a BA in English, but I'm not a native speaker, do you think they'll accept me? Do I have to take any test?
Hi to get accepted I had to take a short test and do an interview, not easy or too difficult!
I think with a BA in English you may not be expected to take a test, I think it’s best to check with each centre you apply for. Good luck!
Thanks for replying so fast.
Wait! there's a chance of not passing? They'd better give me my certificate. It's expensive and I'm not paying for that sh!t again
Please guide me
Hi, I think there is a lot of information in my CELTA video! Take a look and if you have any specific questions let me know, good luck!
