Student Reviews:

The CELTA course at the teacher Training Center in San Diego was the most rewarding ESL certification program that I have ever taken part in.

Not only did I have great trainers, but the staff at the center was warm and welcoming. They were always ready to help me if I needed it, and they had more supplemental materials than I knew what to do with.  I would recommend the CELTA program at the Teacher Training Center in San Diego to anyone who wants to pursue a career in ESL. The intensive, hands-on approach is much more beneficial than an online course or some here today gone tomorrow TESL certification. It is a lot of hard work, but you won’t regret it!
