Feedback on our CELTA courses

At the end of each of our CELTA courses, we ask our trainees to complete anonymous feedback forms on all aspects of their course.

Some of their responses:

Pre-course

Course information was good. A lot of help was provided by IH Belfast with regards to accommodation. Great support provided.
Trainee B

My application was processed incredibly quickly and I received all the information I needed before I started the course. Very impressive.
Trainee D

Input sessions

The input sessions were excellent. (...) Activities and input sessions were introduced that will definitely be useful in the classroom.
Trainee A

I really enjoyed the input sessions. They were all well staged and interesting. Lots of different activities and variations to keep us on our toes.
Trainee D

Lesson preparation

Lesson preparation was useful and informative. Assistance was given as well as reassurance.
Trainee B

Lesson preparation was excellent and helped us to become more independent in our lesson planning towards the end of the course. The sessions gave us great teaching ideas that we will all use in the future.
Trainee C

I was surprised at how much help we actually got to prepare. I imagined we would be left 'out on our own'. The trainers were always really helpful with our lesson preparation and were always ready to give guidance and answer any queries. It was all very reassuring.
Trainee D

Teaching practice and tutor feedback

Teaching practise feedback was great. Tutors were very approachable, helpful and supportive.
Trainee A

Helpful and interesting. Feedback highlighted areas that may not have been obvious. Practical points and ideas to work on were put forward.
Trainee B

We all benefited from Teaching Practise feedback. It guided us to resolve issues in our teaching which were problematic. The feedback enabled us to self evaluate also and learn from our mistakes. Tutorials were very supportive and made us aware of what we were doing well as well as areas to work on.
Trainee C

Tutorials

Tutorials were excellent. They really helped me to develop my teaching. Clear action points were given which I was able to work on in Teaching Practise. A really vital part of the course.
Trainee D

The school

Excellent facilities and resources. Very friendly atmosphere.
Trainee A

The school's facilities really helped us with planning lessons and other parts of the course. The computers, resources and materials for teaching were particularly useful. Access to the kitchen and dining room was appreciated as well. The staff were all really friendly and made us feel welcome.
Trainee C

The facilities were excellent. The staff were very nice and friendly.
The wine and food in the courtyard at the end of the first week was very nice and helped us all relax and unwind.
