The course was intensive and I had many sleepless nights, but I can honestly say that I have learnt loads and feel more confident as a teacher. I am also better equipped for teaching online (which is a huge bonus for me). The tutors were friendly, dedicated and supportive throughout the course. I couldn't ask for more! (Aug-Sept 2020, IH Wroclaw)

Excellent from start to finish. CELTA, established in 1962, is a finely honed course delivering every aspect of what ESL teachers need to know and be able to do. Every part of the course is purposeful and its various components mutually informing. If you have 5 weeks with nothing else on, I think the compacted CELTA experience is best, because the parts work together like gears (guided lesson planning one day, practice teaching the next; feedback on practice teaching one day, setting of personal aims for improvement in light of the feedback the next; presentation on test-teach-test (for example) in the morning, opportunity to apply it in your practice teaching session the very next day). CELTA's recent adaptation to the 100% online delivery format is a real plus for students, both in terms of the ease and cost-effectiveness of taking the course, and in terms of how prepared they will feel to deliver online teaching afterwards. The teacher-trainers at IHWroclaw are highly qualified in their field, are passionate about teaching and learning, and invest deeply in each student's development with helpful, personalized feedback. Richard and Anastasiya, the two teacher-trainers on my course, had consistent standards but contrasting teaching styles, so provided some complementary variety in the teaching we experienced as students, and a good model of how to leverage diverse personalities as a teaching asset. The course has a heavy workload and demands high standards of precision, but the result is that teachers come to know both language and the art of teaching it, to the level that paying students deserve. Most classes, I gather, will be like mine in including a mix of students who are new to teaching and who have been teaching for some years already. This means you learn as much from peers as you do from tutors. The language learners who volunteer through IH to provide a practice teaching lab for the trainee teachers are lovely to work with: motivated and extremely patient. All in all, you feel wonderfully supported as you deliver your 10 45-minute classes to real students at two different levels, so that when you face your next class outside the course, you will be a better equipped and more self-reflective teacher.

I have great experience at IH Wroclaw, great teachers, I have learned a lot from them. Thank you very much for all.

Although the course is intensive, the tutors are supportive and the atmosphere in the office is nice and friendly.

Fantastic course, fantastic location and fantastic trainers. Richard and Kasia are fantastic and patient, knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend doing the Celta in Wroclaw with International House. It was brilliant.
