CELTA with Melbourne Training International

As a qualified and experienced teacher and VET trainer in other areas, I've always wanted to achieve the CELTA qualification. Completing the Graduate Diploma in TESOL provided me with a solid theoretical background but the CELTA has really prepared me in a practical way for teaching English as an additional language. The training provided by MTI met and exceeded my expectations. F2F, blended and fully online options provide ultimate flexibility. Expectations of trainees are rigorous and exacting, but the program is designed such that the action learning approach maximizes trainee's potential for professional growth. An experienced tutor provides expert and engaging input sessions while small group tutors provide guidance, support and feedback across a total of 8 teaching practice sessions. If you want to make a smart investment in yourself, I can highly recommend this qualification and MTI as an authorized center.

I just completed the part-time online CELTA course with MTI. First, I loved the online option and found it to be just as rigorous as promised. In fact, I would recommend the online option to future students not just for the flexibility it provides, but also because it gave us the additional benefit of picking up online teaching skills and techniques, sure to be useful in our future teaching. Second, my tutors Barbara, Jo, and Marcela were all wonderful: they were precise in their delivery and exacting in their assessments and feedback. At the same time, they cared deeply about our learning progress and our success, offering constant encouragement even when the assignments and teaching practice felt a bit overwhelming. Their empathetic and thoughtful demeanor went a long way in motivating me to exert the effort needed to complete the coursework and try to meet their expectations. Third, CELTA is not an easy journey, but the MTI provided us with all the support necessary (references, example assignments, observation videos, very helpful handouts and links) for us to get to the finish line. I highly recommend the CELTA with MTI. Congrats to my fellow CELTA graduates, and good luck to new students just starting the course!

The CELTA course was an incredible experience. What stood out most was how interactive everything was - you're constantly engaged, learning by doing rather than just listening. The tutors (Jo, Marcela and Barbara) were amazing, bringing real expertise and enthusiasm to every session. The feedback was insightful and packed with knowledge that genuinely shaped how I teach. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to grow as an English language teacher.

I learned a lot from my CELTA course at Melbourne Training International. The tutors were very kind and helpful. They were supportive and experienced. I would like to thank Jo, Barbara, and Marcela for helping me improve my English teaching skills. I would 100% recommend this centre to anyone who wants to improve their English or obtain a teaching qualification! :)

I highly recommend MTI for anyone considering completing a CELTA course. MTI was always supportive and professional throughout the entire process, from pre-course preparation to after the course. Jo’s input sessions were particularly valuable because. The sessions were well-structured, clear, and highly relevant to real teaching contexts. I appreciated how the sessions modelled effective teaching strategies rather than simply explaining them. I used SO MANy in my TP. Carlos and Barbara were incredibly dedicated throughout the course. Their feedback was detailed, constructive, and always focused on helping trainees improve in achievable ways. Even during the most intensive parts of the course, they remained approachable, always replied quickly and were highly encouraging, and genuinely invested in everyone’s progress. It was clear that a huge amount of time and care went into both lesson feedback and individual support. MTI also provided a strong range of resources, examples, and guidance, which made lesson planning and reflection far more manageable during such an intensive course. The materials are useful beyond the CELTA itself and will continue to support my teaching practice now. What I appreciated most overall was that the course maintained high standards while still creating a supportive learning environment. The trainers pushed us to develop professionally but also recognised the pressures of the course and provided appropriate guidance throughout. I left the course feeling not only more confident, but with a much clearer understanding of teaching practice, lesson staging, classroom management, and reflective teaching.

I have recently completed my CELTA course with MTI and it was an incredible experience. Thank you Jo, Barbara and Carlos for all your input, feedback and support. I would definitely recommend MTI to anyone wanting to complete the CELTA.

I was very fortunate to choose to complete a CELTA course at MTI! It was a transformative experience that helped me to learn English teaching to different levels of students. The trainers, Maria, Barbara and Jo were very friendly, helpful and encouraging. Through their valuable and pragmatic feedback, I was able to improve my teaching lesson by lesson. In the course, I learnt tons of knowledge about teaching techniques, lesson planning, classroom management, language grading and so on without getting overwhelmed. I was also very fortunate to have my 3 peers Christina, Vanessa and Beth supporting and encouraging each other through out the course. We learnt from each other and provided each other with meaningful feedback. It was truly a wonderful experience and the course is indeed worth its value.

Working through my CELTA at Melbourne Training International (MTI) in Melbourne, Australia with these guys has been an absolute pleasure. Couldn’t ask for more in turns of advice, feedback and support. Thank you all
