Hi there,

My younger brother did the CELTA course in Seville, he went fine with the phone interview, although also nervous. Without wanitng to be too cynical don't foget:

they are a business and WANT you to study through them so they're not going to grill you too hard.
If you were already brilliant at Teaching English you wouldn't have to do the course. They expect people to make mistakes, that's why they teach you
Some pretty ordinary candidates did my brother's course.

However the course is gruelling! Its 4 very gruelling weeks (if you're dong the same course). Eat your wheeties and get lotsof sleep. Be prepared for very long hours (i've been told that by many CELTA graduates). In a nutshell all seem to agree the course is not difficult, just a lot of work.

Good luck, you'll have a ball though Im sure.
