CELTA: Reflections

[purplehaze9]

The courses ended yesterday and I did indeed pass.

For the 2 people who read this, I'll give you an idea on the typical CELTA day in Barcelona. My schedule was from 12 PM - 8 PM. I could have chosen 9-5, but Spain runs on a different schedule compared to your typical American schedule.

So did it end up being worthwhile?

Without a doubt.

Congrats! I hope it helps you get a job up there. My friend took the CELTA and did not pass. So it's good that some people get some positive experiences from it.

Fail or withdraw? The former is pretty hard unless your tutors are shit or you don't give a shit. The latter can show somebody that the course just isn't for them due to the intensity, workload, and high standards set for you.
