Had a great experience doing my CELTA at Apollo in Hanoi! One of the best and most demanding courses I have ever completed. Thanks to the tutors for all their help!

The CELTA course has completely changed the way I think about teaching and learning English as a second language. Learner-centredness wasn’t just the foundation of our teaching practices—it was also the core philosophy that ran through the entire course, shaping everything we did. This approach really inspired me to take more responsibility for my own learning. My tutors were incredibly supportive and gave me clear and constructive guidance. I’ve learned so much from them, not only as trainers but also as people. One of the best parts of the course was meeting such amazing peers. Working with people who share the same goals and mindset made the experience even more special. I would definitely recommend CELTA to anyone who wants to learn more about teaching English and is ready for a challenge. For me, it’s been a truly rewarding journey.

The course was very intense but it was worth it. Before the course, I greatly doubted my ability to teach higher levels. However, I have become a better version of myself after doing it. I am now very confident in teaching and know how to convey the lessons effectively. Michael and Natalia are two tutors, who I sincerely appreciate for their hard work, devotion, support and guidance throughout the course. The administration and staff are constructive in providing stationery, answering questions related to the course and assisting tutees using types of equipment in the common study room. Many restaurants are located near the centre so it is convenient for tutees to buy food and beverage for lunch or dinner.

This is the best course ever.

Taking the CELTA was a transformative milestone in my teaching career. Despite its intensity and rigour, the journey was enriching and truly worth every effort. I’m deeply grateful to my tutors and fellow trainees—they all made the experience more unforgettable than ever!

The experience was very good. The trainers really wanted everyone to pass and advised us on how to handle the workload. Also when having an off day, they really motivated me to keep going.

I think overall this has been an eye-opening experience for me. Even though it was really intensive and demanding in the first week, I managed to adapt and got to the hang of it soon. I also learned so many new things and made friends with my colleagues. The tutors were really helpful. They gave us useful advice and information that was needed for us to improve during and after the course.

Fairly good.

Was good

Natalia and Michael are fantastic trainers who are really supportive and inspiring. But what impressed me the most is their wealth of knowledge and expetise. I learned a great deal from them not only as a trainee but also as a person. I am deeply grateful for their teaching and help. Regarding the Celta course, it has transformed the way I teach, to be more student-centered, effective and efficient. This is absolutelty a worthwhile course for any English teacher.

Besides the fact that it was quite intensive, CELTA was an amazing experience that taught me how to become a better teacher. The teaching practices allowed us to practice the theoretical aspect of teaching. With the guidance of Natalie and Michael, I was able to reflect on my weaknesses and strengths as a teacher. Highly recommendable course for anyone who would like to start their career as a EFL teacher or even for experienced teachers who want to keep investing in their development. However, the installations are a bit run down. We had problems with the AC, WIFI and sometimes the classrooms weren't cleaned. The classrooms were too small for the two large groups that we had.

The tutors were really supportive. I benefited a lot from the feedback sessions.

Overall , the experience was very positive. Even though the course was intensive, it was well designed and taught me a lot of new knowledges that are necessary for my future teaching journey. Tutors were attentive and willing to help trainees with any problems.

Great course! I feel much more confident and comfortable after attending CELTA course. This is a must-try experience for all teachers! No regret for attending this CELTA course!

Overall, I had a rewarding course which was trainee-centred and insightful. Tutors, peers and students were supportive and, therefore, I could make the most of my learning and teaching experience.

it was great, but please fix the wifi

I went into the course aware that it was rigorous. I chose a rigorous course because I had no teaching experience and I wanted to ensure that I was able to teach effectively after just one month. I feel that this course went above and beyond my expectations. I truly feel as though I have the necessary foundation to begin teaching ESL. The tutors were absolutely incredible, and I commend them for the amount of work they put in towards moulding us into effective ESL teachers.

The tutors, Michael and Natalie, are really amazing. Their feedback sessions were extremely useful for me and my peers as they analyzed our lessons as well as performances in detail. Also, they are definitely the role models for those who want to be great teachers.

Overall it was a very good learning experience. The course itself, while intensive, served the purpose very well. I personally enjoyed the challenges and pressure, the tutors were very knowledgeable and professional, strict yet caring and encouraging. The fact that we were being taught relevant techniques and approaches through them using the very same thing was a very nice touch, it showed me that this really works.

It was a really good experience overall. It certainly wasn't easy, demanding on both time and abilities, but the tutors seemed to ensure that we wouldn't get broken while getting molded into better teachers. I feel like I got a lot out of the one month.

The CELTA course was an excellent investment in my professional development. I've gained valuable techniques, frameworks, and knowledge that directly enhance my work as an IELTS teacher. By applying the course's design principles, I've seen a noticeable improvement in my students' learning experience. I'm particularly grateful to my tutors, Natalie and Michael. They are the best teachers that I could ever hope for. I also enjoyed the friendship with my classmates and will value the connections we made. I would without doubt again choose to go through the course again.

The tutors were supportive and professional.

Great course

The tutors were excellent, as were the facilities!

I had a wonderful experience with supportive tutors and colleagues

The tutors Michael N and Natalia V are competent and very good at their jobs. This is not to say we students weren’t at times frustrated by them, but our frustration was an inevitable consequence of the course’s design. That is, at times they let us go to figure things out for ourselves. I knew that this measured disengagement was part of the plan. CELTA was an invigorating experience for me, but at times it was even more stressful than I had expected. I fully endorse Michael and Natalia and tried to take aboard every syllable they tried to give me. Two thumbs up for these two valuable instructors

It was an intensive but a great course. The tutors were amazing and made our journey a lot better and easier. The Internet connection was a bit unstable as it kept reconnecting and we had to reconnect every few mins. Other than that, there were really no problems, even if there were, they're not worth mentioning. Overall, I had a great experience connecting and getting to know different people and work with them.

My overall experience has been positive. I recommend taking the course with Michael and Natalie. They were quite strict in terms of teaching in order to push us forward and I believe that makes me a better teacher

I am satisfied with my experience during and after the course. Eveything was as expected and beyond.

I am so glad that I took my CELTA course at Apollo International House. My CELTA tutors Michael and Natalie were amazing. They were extremely supportive and helpful and provided excellent feedback They are also great role models and I am glad to have them as a future resource as I start my career in English teaching. The quality the CELTA course was highly professional, and I learnt an immense amount during my time at Apollo. There are so many classroom techniques that I am continuing to use now when I'm teaching, and it has given me confidence to be creative too.

I finished the course having learnt something, and improved myself not just as a teacher but as a person.

CELTA is truly an intensive course but it's also really rewarding. It requires a lot of reading, research, and planning. Sometimes, you might feel like giving up, but my supportive tutors were the reason I didn't quit, and they'll be there for you too. If you choose to do CELTA at Apollo English, you're surely going to pass because of the great tutors and the type of support you are going to get from them. You'll learn a lot of useful things that will make you a better teacher. So, even though it's hard, it's definitely worth it in the end.

I can say that it was an intense and challenging experience, but also incredibly rewarding. The course provided me with a comprehensive understanding of teaching English as a second language, and the opportunity to put theory into practice through observed teaching practice. The trainers were knowledgeable and supportive, providing constructive feedback that helped me improve my teaching skills. Although the course was demanding, it was worth the effort and has prepared me well for a career in English language teaching.

Apollo is a great place to have my CELTA course. The building is located in central Hanoi and it is equipped with sufficient facilities to support the course. Starting from the pre-interview process up to the end of CELTA, the staff has been very helpful. The tutors were very professional and supportive during the course; they provided excellent support for me and it helped me complete the course.

It was a great experience when I could meet and learn from outstanding people. Michael and Zach are fantastic tutors with different styles of teaching and guidance. I've learned a lot from them. Although the course was really intensive, other trainees and tutors were supportive and gave me a lot of advice. Highly recommend Celta Course and Apollo Pho Hue for future professional English teachers. Good luck with your journey ahead!

I had a satisfactory experience and learned a lot in the course

I did my CELTA course with Michael and Zach this July, and it was one of the best courses I have ever taken. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic. I gained both theoretical and practice knowledge which gave me more confidence in teaching. Thank you, Apollo and I will definitely recommend this course to everyone who wants to take CELTA.

An excellent course, very well structured, though a bit too intense. All of the tutors were extremely supportive and helpful and provided excellent feedback. Location was fine and easy to get too. The aircon was broken in rooms which made them very hot and there were delays in fixing it. The CELTA room was cramped and PCs had various configurations some had WORD some did not etc. The rooms and facilities were only weak spot on course but they were generally fine. We could have done with more students attending class. Otherwise excellent.

I had a wonderful time learning useful input sessions together with experiencing tough but essential Teaching Practice. My tutors were very supportive throughout the course, and I feel so grateful for being encouraged to discover the knowledge by myself. Thanks for an amazing course, and I believe Celta did boost my techniques and methodologies for future teaching.

Great experience, exceeded my expectations. Graeme is an amazing training professional.

The course was intense and you can count on your tutors to help you at any time. As for the staff in the center, they are very nice people also keen to help if you need anything.

The course was intense and challenging but with the help of two fantastic tutors, we all succeeded in our goal of attaining the CELTA. Having the opportunity to learn from Joelle, one of the most inspiring and talented teachers I have ever seen was a true bonus, and she is a credit to your school. The sole reason the facilities didn't get full five stars is because the air conditioning was not working for the first three weeks in the TP practise rooms, and teaching lessons was like a sauna sometimes! But the other facilities (interactive monitors, computers, course books etc) were excellent and the staff working there were lovely and friendly, and the air conditioning was fixed shortly before we left.

My tutors were great and very helpful. I enjoyed the course and learned a lot from it. The only thing is the rooms were hot and it was pretty irritating sometimes.

Completing the CELTA at the Apollo (Hanoi) is without doubt the best decision I made when selecting a training facility and location. This is truly an intensive course, and without the unconditional support of the tutors (a massive shout-out to CELTA trainer Joelle, you are an angel and a real credit to Apollo!), the administrative staff and amazing students, completing this course would have been nigh impossible. I honestly couldn't recommend the Apollo in Hanoi highly enough and hope to continue my teaching career with them! Thank you for all the guidance and support.

Joelle and Phil were outstanding tutors, both so knowledgeable and skilled and ready to support us in any way they could. The air conditioning in the teaching rooms was an ongoing issue during the course which did make the rooms uncomfortable and we were there in Spring so I can’t imagine what it could be like in Summer.

Overall, it was ntensive but awesome in the end. I'm very glad I had done it in Hanoi with these trainers! The classes on DVD were a bid outdated and tepid. Lindsay's was Ok because she used the interactive whiteboard and was pretty on it. But Jane's and Frances' felt a bit outdated.

I feel the course is challenging for both tutors and trainees, Billy and Graeme are true assets in that they're organisation is reasoned, informed and well implemented so as to create the best possible circumstances and environment for the trainees.

Overall, the course met all my expectations. It's a good start for inexperienced ESL teachers.

Excellent experience, very glad that I did it.

Fantastic. This is one of the best decision I've ever made in my life to do my CELTA with Apollo.

The course was great, really challenging but never overwhelming. Run very professionally with access to modern equipment and a huge library of resources. tutors knowledge and input sessions invaluable.

Its a great experience and I've learned so much. Thank you for the fantastic course!

Great, helpful course which did everything I expected.

I had an really great month doing my CELTA at Apollo Hanoi! A lot of it had to do with the amazing people that I got to work with, such a hardworking, supportive group :) Given how intensive the course is, being surrounded by positive people really helps. The tutors were also really nice and helpful. My favorite part was probably the teaching practices. The students were nice and eager to learn, and afterwards there were always workshops where you and your peers give candid and constructive feedback. The facilities were pretty nice, even though I am from Hanoi I didn't have working space where I was staying so I spent a lot of time in the trainee's room where there are literally everything you need to prepare for you lesson. The area around the center has a lot of good, cheap, local eateries less than a 5 minute walk away. Overall would definitely recommend.

The course was fantastic! Well worth the money spent!

I am so glad that I took my CELTA course at Apollo International House in Hanoi. My CELTA tutors Chris and Flo were amazing. They genuinely care about their students, their progress as teachers, and their future careers. They are also great role models and I am glad to have them as a future resource as I start my career in English teaching. Also, Hanoi is a great city to be in. The people are really nice and the food is amazing. It makes the hard days of CELTA much easier when you can stay in Hanoi.

Both Chris and Flo are clearly excellent teachers and that shows during the course. Not only did they exceed my expectation in terms of teaching expertise, they also did a great job creating an environment that was both enjoyable and educational. The combination of these factors meant that the course was overall a fun and rewarding experience.

The course was indeed very intensive but equally rewarding. The two tutors were extremely supportive and encouraging.

The course was extremely demanding, but through the support and genuine care of our tutors it was manageable and a learning experience I am very glad I had.

The course was fantastic. The trainers (Chris Jones and Flo Feast) were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We trainees had everything we need. I'm totally satisfied.

The quality the CELTA course was highly professional, and I learnt an immense amount during my time at Apollo. Special thanks is due to both of the experienced teachers who made the intensive learning time a truly beneficial and rewarding experience. Their commitment to every student was highly commendable. The intensity of the well organised course was all worthwhile and logical in the end.

It Is a fantastic opportunity for brand-new English teachers. The course is well organized, and the input sessions are extremely helpful.

Great people and an amazing amount learned in such a short space of time. I left feeling 100% confident of teaching unassisted

I loved the course and instructors. The building was under construction with limited functionality, which was frustrating. The commute from my district in Dong Da is long, but I understand that most foreigners live near Hai Ba Trung, Hoan Kiem, and Tay Ho. Overall, I am proud, honored, and pleased to have been a CELTA trainee.

I found the content of the course and the course tutors exceeded my expectation. The structure of theory and intergrated practice helped to improve me so much as a teacher. There are so many classroom techniques that I am continuing to use now when I'm teaching, and it has given me confidence to be creative too.

Did exactly what it said on the tin. A great location providing great value for money.
