The intensive CELTA course was held online from mid-November to mid-December 2020. We had about 21 students total divided into several different tutor groups with about six students per tutor group. We were with a tutor for the first part of the class and the second part of the class with another tutor. The small group stayed the same. We taught two different level of students.
Because of COVID, the class was online and we learned how to use the different aspects of Zoom. We all really bonded with our small group.
I was very happy with the course, the students, the teachers and the content. It was very intense but I learned a lot in that time. I would have liked to have seen the students live in person, but this way I didn’t have to leave my house.
The only drawback was that it was actually based on Oman time (since the centre has a location in Frankfurt, Germany and Oman) – I found this out not long before the start of the course which meant I had to start class at 6am, but it actually worked out well.
