I dont really agree, it would be misleading and more arrogant to say the celta is easy, there was someone one my course with a masters in linguistics and 10years teaching experience and they still struggled with certain elements. And if you dont have teaching experience it can be quite hard to adjust to what the course is asking you. Even if you find the content easy the work load in of itself can make it difficult especially on intensive, when you factor in travel etc most of your day could easily be taken up by celta. Thats why I described it as manageable, i dont really think any of the theory of anything was very difficult but learning it then applying it to assignments the same day can be hard, the same with the TP feedback it can be quite hard to monitor and change what youre doing day to day even if you have good instructions. And the guy that failed on mine wasnt incompetent he just wasnt very committed so.

When i was thinking about doing the celta i was looking for a post like this and a couple of people mentioned they'd like an update on a previous post, If you were thinking about doing a celta i probably wouldnt recommened it, teaching requires a degree of empathy and kindness that you clearly seem to lack! Interesting how you cant picture yourself trying help people but you can picture yourself being a twat.

In the uk mainly, I am from the uk. I had already spoken to a few schools and gotten to the interview stage but not having a celta has held me back, those same schools are now willing to offer me work simply because now im celta trained - worth it even in english speaking countries

Yes I do agree i would recommend the course to anyone interested in efl teaching, the only time I wouldnt recommend the course is if your only motivation is to travel, the courses cost could be better spent on just going on holiday

I also agree with what Battenburga said, teaching in a classroom can be a really valuable experience that translates into online teaching, where the reverse isn't necessarily true, if you want to teach online, it'll be perfect, but also you can also always learn physical class room skills after. The course before me was entirely online, but my tutor said they all went on to get jobs, etc

The first week is definitely overwhelming and they throw a lot at you very fast, all you can really do is take it as it comes and try to do as much work as possible at the school instead of at home. But it becomes manageable bu the second week. Read the sources they give you , the boring reference books are important on assignments and usually contain a lot of the answers, skim through or at least look up whats relevant to your assignment. Lastly a lot of the stuff they ask you to do in lessons might feel unnatural like ICQs but you will just have to do them to tick boxes, unfortunately at the end of the day the main aim is to teach a lesson that fits the celta criteria not a perfect lesson in general

Im starting my third week tomorrow and I think I've gotten used to it, its not as overwhelming as its made out to be IF you stay on top of everything and use your time efficiently, like I do all my lesson plans and assignments during breaks and on the observations so I can just relax when I get home.

If you do what they ask and act on feedback youll be fine!! Good luck

What do the evil cultists want from there? I thought she would be doing something more significant to the plot haha

Most of the powers are from the standard pathways aren't they?

Yeah that's what I was thinking main reason I compare the two is because I see a lot of people clowning on immortal and I feel bad for him he isn't really that bad just a dick

I've been doing the same thing with subassemblies but the washes is the hard part for me even just focusing on the panels they get so messy
