I learned a TON and I think that this course was well worth the value. The instructors kept it interesting and challenging! Definitely would recommend!!

The CELTA course has been a great experience for me! The tutors really support you every step of the way! Initially, I was worried about being able to pass as I've never taught before, besides a short period of tutoring, but I was able to quickly grow during the 1-month course and I'm even teaching in Vietnam a couple of months after receiving my CELTA certification! The tutors were the best part of the course for sure.

After changing my mind many times, I eventually decided to take the course. There are some overall comments on each of the factors contributing to the course below: 1. The tutors: both of the tutors have done a great job in providing candidates with sufficient knowledge (input sections) and constructive feedback after each TP, together with peers' feedback. This is of paramount importance because the teacher will know what their strengths and weaknesses are, which help them progress later on. 2. Administrative staff: Mr. Minh was of great help because he was the one who set up the classroom and was ready to give his hand when candidates had some problems with the photocopiers and electronic devices. The procedure in each stage during the course was conducted smoothly and clearly. 3. Location: the school is located quite near the city center, so those who live in the vicinity of the area can reach the school with ease, but traffic congestion is something to consider because this is a norm in Vietnam, so try to be on time especially on your TP days.

I highly recommend the course for anyone who is looking to become a certified teacher. We got to learn a lot in just one month, with the practical side of the real classes and students, and the sufficient amount of research for language and teaching we needed to do. I'd say the best thing about it was the tutors, Jon and Bogdan, who were really supportive and helpful. Despite the intensity of the course, they made it enjoyable and fun for the trainees. The staff and facility of the centre were great as well - we felt like we always got the support we needed. Amazing experience!

The course was well-administered overall. The structure had clearly been planned and students were given ample instructions on teaching practices and assignments. The tutors were very experienced in their roles and went out of their way to assist students without compromising their learning potential. I particularly appreciated being treated as a mature-age student and encouraged to be independent in my learning from the outset. Some of the course materials were either outdated in terms of their content, or not culturally suited to students from non-Western backgrounds. Perhaps students could be asked to adapt the materials to suit their students’ cultural backgrounds and this could be taken into account in the marking. I believe the integrity of the CELTA was upheld throughout the course with tutors making numerous references to the criteria required to pass the course. This was important to me and my fellow students in knowing we were studying for a recognised qualification from a high-ranking institute. I would not hesitate to recommend Apollo in HCMC.
