hi, i\'m not sure if you\'re looking for info specifically for international house madrid or just for the CELTA course in general, but i figure i\'d drop you a line just in case. i just completed the august CELTA course at international house portland. it was super intense, a lot of hard work. required a lot of concentration/dedication but ultimately it was a very rewarding experience, and i feel, a solid investment of my time and money. i ended up getting a "Pass B" which is awesome, so if you have any questions i\'d be glad to answer them if i can. the one thing i can strongly recommend is to devoid yourself of as many extracurricular activities/distractions as possible. the course will consume you for a month. i\'m originally from chicago and i picked up everything and moved out to oregon for the month. so i knew virtually noone and it was a blessing in a way. anyway...good luck [IMG SRC=\"modules/phpBB_14/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif\"][addsig]
