TEFL Courses & Certification in Melbourne, Australia

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.

Every session was packed with valuable insights, practical teaching strategies, and constructive feedback that genuinely helped me grow as a teacher. The course was challenging but extremely rewarding, and I felt supported every step of the way.

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

I am a native English speaker with a Master's degree. I found this course easy to navigate. Being able to speak and write English does not mean that you instinctively know how to teach it. The course helped me to understand how foreign speakers would need to tackle grammar and how it could be taught. I learned several things that I did not know, such as zero and 1st, 2nd and 3rd Conditional sentences. I had never deconstructed this in my life! I had to do a little bit of extra learning from the web on modal verbs to understand how these work wrt the conditional. This area of the course could be clarified a little. I am also a little unsure about how I might teach a few other elements of grammar such as when to use, who, which, that. For the tense section I made my own table and set it out in a better and more logical framework, which shows that I must be a visual learner.

This is an excellent on-line TESOL course. I am very glad that I signed up for the certification class, which allowed me to complete it at my own time. The lessons were easy to follow and systematically arranged to have maximum benefits to the learning process. The audio lectures were coherent and had many insightful observations in which to draw tips from. I was able to complete the course in a relatively short time, due to its brevity, but which did not take away from the relevancy of the topics that were presented. I absolutely recommend this on-line program for everyone who is interested in obtaining the TESOL certificate. It's well worth time and effort!

It wasn’t easy to decide where to purchase a TEFL course. But when I found ITT I understood, that it was what I was looking for. So far I’m happy with it. The course is interesting and in bite size pieces) Thank you

I completed the TEFL course recently and I highly recommend it! It covers all aspects of teaching and every topic ends with a writing assignment that helps you to test your new knowledge. The tutor responds very quickly, provides good feedback and a lot of additional resources. Before I started the course I was worrying if an online course can prepare me well for teaching in a classroom. But yes, it did prepare me very well! I learned so much from this course and I feel like I am now more confident and prepared to create my own lesson plans and teach English as a second language. I like the fact that you can add specialty courses to the main program and there is additional time to complete them.

Overall, I found that the foundation of this course was very easy to follow and was very effective in my learning experience. The resources, the people, and the platform were just all too wonderful! I wish it was this nice at the University I attend too! When taking my TEFL course and completing the practicum, I thought it was something a little "off" for me to do, but when I finally found an opportunity to teach, I had a blast! I really wish I was able to talk more to my peers, but I think that given the circumstances, we all did really well together!

I had an amazing experience taking the Advanced 120 Hour TEFL course with itt! I learned so many skills which I use every day in my classroom. I am constantly referring to the activities I learned throughout the course to help me with my lessons. So many of the methods I learned I was already applying to my teaching, but the lessons with itt really helped put all that I was doing into words that made sense. I would highly recommend taking a course with itt and would do it all over again if I could!

This was a helpful course with knowledgeable and helpful tutors. The first few units were a little easy, in my opinion, but the later ones were a bit more challenging and contained some useful content about lesson frameworks in particular. I've already begun testing out some of the ideas from the course on my own students and think that having done this course has made my own teaching better. Thanks again!

The course content and videos provided extensive information on the concept of teaching English as a second language. I had to give props to the pdf files on the different areas taught. It also provided assistance for teaching in general such as highlighting the importance of lesson planning and the often difficult task of management of the class.

Brilliant introductory course and for its price you can not go wrong. Lots of great information about teaching and how to manager classrooms etc. The course is broken up into manageable sections and after each of these is a small quiz. I did the course at a very casual pace mostly while commuting to and from work each day as it was easy to access on my tablet or phone. You can complete the course quite fast but I would suggest taking your time as there is tons of valuable information which can really be used in real world settings.

Overall, the online program was well organized and had a lot of great tips for new teachers. Obviously, classroom teaching experience and in-person learning cannot be fully replaced by an online course, but this course was still worthwhile. The exams and activities were straightforward, but the three assignments do require quite a bit of time (so don’t procrastinate on them!). The grading of the assignments was also fair and helpful. You’ll finish the course feeling more familiar with lesson plans and classroom language.
