Thanks! You've written a great post about the CELTA - it was great to see you again and hear you bring to life the fascinating world of technology for teaching. Even if we only really touched the tip of the iceberg in that session, you definitely got trainees interested in using technology and possibly teaching online. I'm sure most, like Clara, will manage to keep their interest in technological teaching world through this brilliant info-packed blog! The CELTA course is, as you said, very demanding but i think really worth it in the end - nowadays many serious language schools shortlist applications for teaching posts based on whether applicants have the CELTA qualification. Of course teaching experience counts for a lot too and the qualification by no means overshadows that. I see the two working together hand-in-hand. Once the course is over, general feedback from trainees comes in along the lines of "learnt a lot not just about teaching but also about myself". It's a real eye-opener, believe me! For those who are keen on deepening their insight into teaching and learning, teachers might consider taking the CambridgeEso DELTA qualification. It's even tougher and more demanding! For trainees on a CELTA http://celta.edublogs.org might be useful. For CELTA-qualified teachers, my blog http://teachinglife.edublogs.org aims to keep selective development going.... ! Thanks again for your guest appearance on the CELTA! I'll Tungle you for the next appointment! :-) Chris Hi there Aniya!

By the way, it's me who tweets your posts via Twitter ;) @Clara, thanks for dropping by, so you're fresh from the course would you add anything else for would-be CELTA trainees? @Jason thanks for you comments, yes we don't blog about CELTA much, I know I would have liked more info before starting the course, there is also a fun post on CELTA too, but I need to try and remember where I saw it...Watch this space ;) Hi Alex, the tips I would give before starting the CELTA would be to get plenty of sleep, put your life on hold, and brush up on your grammar, the rest take in your stride while you are there.

Given the predominance of CELTA as a prerequisite qualification these days, I think this sort of information is really needed and appreciated. Best, ~ Jason Very informative post – thank you!
