It is a well-designed course that inspires a learner to become a better teacher. With succinct grammar explanations, challenging and engaging interactive exercises, I learnt much more about the methods of presenting grammar and of how to take a self-reflective approach to instruction and communication. The convenience of doing it from home was an additional bonus.

…Before attending this CELTA course, I haven’t received any education abroad. We usually adopt the word-by -word translation method to teach English. In another word, one English word matches one Chinese counterpart. In this way, students do not have a full comprehension about the functions and usages of the words… This course really opened another door for me. It taught me how to elicit the target language, instead of telling them directly… It really taught me how to pass on knowledge, instead of spoon-feeding students. What’s more, tutors, teaching director and classmates in Melbourne Training Associates were super amazing… classmates helped me a lot in the rehearsals; tutors gave me very constructive advice; even the teaching director always encouraged me a lot in person. Finally, I passed the course successfully.
I am so glad that I did attend this on-line course during the COVID -19. It enabled me to study this CELTA course at home with classmates from all over the world. Thank you for all the tutors, teaching director and classmates.

Having recently finished the CELTA online blended course, I would heartily recommend it, even for the over 60’s and those with a science background! The online version was every bit as good as the intensive course but gave more opportunity to interact with the materials, concepts, teaching practice preparation and assignments and at a more sustainable pace. The weekly tutorials with our group proved both helpful and an incentive to keep going, giving more of a group or class feel. Tutors were very helpful, fair and kept us up to standard. The teaching practice had to be done online, but this proved a useful learning exercise also. I feel like I have a much clearer grasp as to how to break down the English language and analyse where students have problems. I appreciated learning techniques to draw the students out to work things out for themselves.

I am very lucky to complete my CELTA course at MTA and have you two as my tutors. I will definitely recommend the school to my friends who want to have a CELTA. Also, I am grateful for the internship opportunity.

The site is very clean and easy to use. I am amazed at how comprehensive the teaching is, while also being concise and easy to understand. There is so much useful and easy to digest information, and all of it is so helpful for anyone to learn what makes the English language tick. It is great for improving writing, expression, and great for anyone just a little curious about diving deeper into English!

Celta has been a great course for preparing me to plan lessons, teach quality classes and support students. Taking CELTA online has been great because I am able to do complete my work on a flexible schedule. The tutors are so helpful and they provided great resources to help with my learning.
