The course is highly practical in emphasis and will require a lot of hard work and commitment from you.

It is designed to enable you to:

1. develop your language awareness
2. appreciate the cultural and individual needs of learners
3. become familiar with the principles and practice of effective English language teaching
4. develop basic skills for teaching adults
5. identify and exploit appropriate resources and materials
6. identify opportunities for future professional development

You will be kept fully informed of your progress and will have the opportunity to discuss your work in detail during your individual tutorials.

The CELTA is awarded to those who pass each of the two assessed components of the course:

1. Planning and teaching
2. Classroom-related written assignments

The assessment is validated by an external assessor, appointed by Cambridge, who visits the course to assess the general standard of the course work. There is no final practical or written examination.

With your certificate we provide a written report, indicating your strengths and weaknesses, and certificates and reports are sent out approximately one month after the end of the course, when the results have been validated by Cambridge.

CELTA Course Formats

The full-time course lasts four weeks and is highly intensive.  Teaching practice and lesson observation take place at the Centre.

The Part Time CELTA Course lasts 14 weeks and requires attendance on Wednesdays and Saturdays during that time. But don't be fooled, it is also fairly intensive.  Teaching practice and lesson observation take place at the Centre.

Online CELTA Course: The input that is done on a Wednesday in the Part Time Course timetable example, would be instead online (30 units - the average unit taking approx. 2 hours to complete). Saturdays are for face to face Teaching Practice and Feedback.
