Thanks for the replies. The interview went very well and she'll be starting the course in London in July.

hi everyone
I had a CELTA interview today, it was a mess. First I had to take a long my baby with me she is 7 months, they kindly allowed me to have her with me as i had nobody look after her. Second, three other candidates were native speakers so obviously they were better then me. Finally, my baby fell on the side and started horrible cry, so i have the last part of interview to complete tomorrow. I am so worried am sure i won't be accepted.

Don't panic would be my biggest tip. They're just trying to find out if you'd be capable of doing the course. They don't expect you to be perfect with your grammar etc as a lot of teachers aren't. Make sure you know the stuff you wrote on your application, but relax and just answer the questions as they come.

The course isn't that difficult, with the hardest part being getting used to the teaching in my opinion. The assignments are ok and if you give yourself a little time to adjust to the teaching weeks 3 and 4 get a lot easier.

I couldn't agree more.

By the way, my friend passed the course with a grade B and had an exhausting but thoroughly rewarding experience. She's now teaching some courses for me in high school and doing very well.
