Has anyone taken this course recently? I did a search, but I seem to remember the posts being old and not addressing this school specifically.
Also, from anyone who has taken the course.....how much grammar is actually involved?
There is a lot on the pre-test app.......I've been teaching kids and basic adult conversation classes for the last 2 years, so anything more than a preposition and I'm a bit rusty!
Thanks for any info. Wink

I'm not sure if Cactus advertise on this site or not, but you should approach the school directly. Cactus is a middle man, and you will pay much more for the course.

Ahhhh.....I thought about that, but the fee is actually not much more. I looked into taking the CELTA a year ago at IH Bangkok and it's around the same.
Anyway, I will try contacting them, but the web-site has a picture of the ECC center and this is the only course other than the IH package once a year in Phuket.

this is the only thread that mentions cactus. I found their site here http://www.cactuslanguage.com/en/book/course.php?course_id=1873#book

charging only $1450 ?? This is $150 less than both ECC and IH. Can I get it cheaper contacting school directly as you say? This school is in Phuket.

Definitely not true. I only paid $1350USD for my CELTA issued through IHWO in Saigon that I found through cactus. Also, their website makes it super easy to locate courses throughout the world; letting you search by country, course type, etc.....
