CELTA – Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

"When I attended an IAG session at RHACC, I felt very lost and afraid and didn't know how to navigate life's changes and challenges. I was met with so much care and compassion, and the support I received helped me identify my next steps and led me to the New Directions course, which I am now enjoying. Halfway through the course, I am noticing a small but important transformation. I am less afraid than before, and I now have hope and a greater awareness of the options available to me. I have wonderful course mates and look forward to my lessons every week."

"I really enjoyed my Functional Skills English course at RHACC. The online lessons were interesting and engaging, and my tutor, Garo Kourjian, was always helpful, knowledgeable and patient when answering questions. It was a very positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend the course."

"Before joining RHACC, I lacked confidence in my English. Thanks to the support, encouragement and excellent teaching I received, I improved my speaking, writing and grammar skills and gained the confidence to believe in myself. RHACC has made a truly positive difference to my learning journey."

“I’m extremely pleased I chose this course – it was incredibly useful and informative. A special mention to Peter Ahearn who was very knowledgeable and explained everything in effective but clear way. I enjoyed the experience so much that I’ll definitely be enrolling on another course soon.”

“I’ve really enjoyed and benefited from a year on the Beginners’ Italian course with the superb teacher Maria Iacuzio. The classes were informative and pitched correctly, and the homework helped reinforce what we learned in class. I’m really looking forward to continuing in September on the Post-Beginners course – I’ve already enrolled! Thank you Maria!”

“I’ve been incredibly impressed with my tutor – I was taught with such calmness and patience throughout the course.
I started with very basic maths knowledge, so passing Level 2 after beginning in September 2025 feels like a huge achievement – and a real testament to Sonali’s teaching.
I now feel encouraged and motivated to continue onto the next level.”

"I wanted to thank the college and Sonali for such an engaging course – it’s really helped me understand the maths I use in daily life much more easily.
I feel far more confident working things out and understanding why different functions exist. It’s made a real difference not just for me, but also in supporting my children with their schoolwork.
I no longer feel intimidated by maths and have really enjoyed the course. My maths isn’t perfect yet – but it’s a work in progress I’m no longer afraid of!”

"We would like to thank Jacqueline Gomez for her engaging lessons, vibrant visual materials, and the profound knowledge she shared with us. Her support, enthusiasm, and attention to each student helped us easily grasp the material. Thank you so much for your professional work!"

Being a student at RHACC was an unforgettable experience. The Access to Higher Education Level 3 Diploma in Creative and Digital Media one-year course was highly intensive and, at the same time, very exciting! The course covered a wide range of subject areas, providing me with a broad understanding and an extensive skill set which has prepared me to continue my studies in higher education with confidence.

The quality of teaching and the curriculum were outstanding. The support and feedback I received from my tutors during my studies here helped me feel comfortable and allowed me to reach my full potential. I had a very enjoyable time learning at RHACC. The college has a very nice and relaxed atmosphere, is inclusive and the members of staff are all very friendly and helpful. I received offers from all of the universities I applied to and I am very thankful to everyone. I would love to study here again!
