Hey Gang,

I've finally got all my ducks in a row to start the CELTA program at International House. I was hoping someone might have some insight as to the deadlines required from them. I was hoping to get into the next class which starts in 2 weeks, Feb 21st, yet I haven't even applied, I am going to do so tomorrow. I will also require student housing. If anyone has any insight as to if you think they might be fully booked or that I should be fine because they will be more than willing to take my money (which is ready for tomorrow if need be), replies are most appreciated.

Aside from the timing thing, how serious are they about the admition process? I have filled out the application, but I am wondering how brilliant a candidate they are looking for... I do hold a degree in Spanish already. Should I be elaborating extensively on my explanations on the grammar quiz, or what? Again, your input is most appreciated!

As of today, IH had 8 registered students and they typically accept round about 12. So, all documentation processed today, and my enrollment interview is tomorrow AM, upon which I will be told if I can go ahead and book my travel. Hope this helps someone else in the future!

Ps If anyone has experience with the IH CELTA program, specifically what if any employment opportunities they presented after graduation, I would appreciate your input. Thanks!
