Great
Celta at Apollo HCMC is an amazing chance to grow as a teacher, thanks to the professionalism and expertise of the two fantastic tutors and the chance to share the experience with motivated colleagues from all around the world. Highly recommended.
My overall experience on the CELTA course was exceptional. It stands out as one of the best educational experiences I have ever had. Having completed TESOL, TKT modules 1, 2, 3, and YL, along with my bachelor's degree and various other courses, I can confidently say that nothing compares to the CELTA course organized by Apollo in Ho Chi Minh City. The four weeks of intensive work were both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The course provided a wealth of new knowledge and practical teaching experience. The tutors ensured that we were consistently on track with our teaching practices, delivering outstanding lessons in a way that was both effective and unforgettable. Jonathan Rose, in particular, was a highlight of the course. I still incorporate many of his phrases, techniques, and even expressions and tricks from our practice sessions into my own teaching. The facilities were excellent, with printers and other stationery always readily available. The administrators were always on hand to offer assistance whenever needed. Moreover, the camaraderie among the CELTA trainees was wonderful. We built strong connections, and I still keep in touch with some of them. The CELTA course was undeniably tough – four weeks of hard work, high stress, little sleep, and minimal personal life. Despite these challenges, I would not hesitate to do it all over again if given the chance.
I highly recommend the CELTA course offered by Apollo in Ho Chi Minh City for both current and aspiring English teachers. Despite having over five years of teaching experience, I found this four-week course to be transformative, significantly enhancing my teaching knowledge and abilities. From day one, the course structure allows you to apply what you have learnt to your teaching practice. The input sessions are closely aligned with the assessment criteria, providing clarity and ensuring you know exactly what is expected at each stage. While the workload is demanding, every task is purposeful and focused on developing practical skills for real-world teaching environments. The tutors at Apollo are exceptional, offering unwavering support and personalised guidance throughout the course. I feel so fortunate to have come across tutors like Jon and Bogdan in my professional development journey. Their detailed feedback and continuous encouragement were critical to my success. Having completed the course, I can now see why the CELTA is one of the most highly regarded certifications in the field of English teaching. For anyone considering the CELTA course at Apollo, I offer my full recommendation.
I have never taught before and the CELTA at Apollo was an amazing experience. I don't think I've ever learnt so much in such a short amount of time. The course is very demanding but it creates a sense of comaradarie between the participants as you'll be helping and supporting each other throughout. Jon and Bogdan were amazing tutors. They will guide you on your journey, and will give you the extra support you need if you struggle. I did my best on the course and Jon amazingly supported me in getting a job. He offered advice for Apollo and non-Apollo positions, and then even put me forward for a position that I am now working in!
