I took the course in Kolkata in December.

did you think the course was useful and value for money?

It is considerably cheaper than the Celta, and since the focus is on teaching children maybe more useful for people that will be teaching children. The practice teaching and lesson planning were useful, but at times it seemed feedback was focused on whether or not the teacher was exactly following directions in a particular order. Overall I found it to be satisfactory. There were ways I wished the course was different--but then again, difficult to know how much can be contained in a 4-week course. I would say, take the Celta if you can afford it, but if not, this course was decent value for money.
