Your experience of the CELTA course is not unique. I used to train CELTA students. Most of them are stressed on the 1 month course. This is why a lot of people prefer the 2 month or 3 month slower course.

Anyway:

Did you actually pass? A lot of people think oh just because I pay for the course it's a birdy course - that they will simply fly through it and are guaranteed a pass ~ They aren't and many are surprised when they don't pass. In our training centre we gave out transcripts on the last day to tell people if they passed or not. The transcript is the important part not so much the certificate as it allows wherever you work in the future to check if your certificate is genuine.

If you didn't or the cert was lost then you learned a very hard and expensive lesson. You have to kowtow to those who have power grit your teeth and bear it this is the way of the world.


Lastly CELTA? If you are who I think you are last time I talked to you was in 2012. What has me concerned is it has taken you four maybe five years just to get the absolute base line qualification for ESL?


Didn't I tell you to aim higher and actually improve yourself? Yet 5 years later you're still doing gap yeah jobs? I mean the people who I trained for CELTA 5-6 years ago are getting the DELTA qualifications or their MA/MEd and pre-qualification teaching doesn't count for anything.

Your CELTA also may not open as many doors as you think.

If you haven't noticed teachers are treated like crap in the UK what with the they get 17 weeks holiday and it's not a real job type mentality with paperwork and homework that does itself etc. As a result 1000s of fully qualified teachers have left the UK to seek their fortunes overseas. So you're competing against these types of people.

In my Sandbox job everybody was a PGCE or MA at the very minimum even though it was just a facade they still wanted highly qualified folks to give them credibility.

1) passed.

2) if anything, I gave her crap. If she could have failed me she would I'm sure. She could not. She bullied others, a lot. Everyone on our group passed, I would like to think I helped.

3) it got sent to my sister, will consider how to deal with it later.

4) I did other shit. Celta is insurance, but not overly necessary. I take your point though, and had I sat unqualified in a chinese cram school unqualified I would be thoroughly upset with myself

5) The sandboxes attract the uk flock, I am well in tge Asian area and have my own ideas afoot

6) I did actually learn an awful lot on it though, and it was money well spent.

7) yes it is me. My urge to stay out of the uk overcame the irritation of teaching for now.
