CELTA TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

 PLEASE ALSO SEE OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ONLINE COURSE PURCHASES

CELTA places are limited. We can accept a maximum of 12 trainees on a Face2Face or Mixed Mode CELTA course and a maximum of 18 trainees on a Fully Online CELTA course. We recommend that candidates select 3 or more possible start dates when they submit their application form to avoid disappointment. Candidates who are successful in their application will be called to interview. All notifications will occur by email and candidates are required to submit a valid email address and ensure they check this regularly for updates throughout their application process. Please read the CELTA Terms and Conditions and the Terms and Conditions for Online Purchases before you apply; submission of the CELTA Application form constitutes your agreement to abide by these CELTA terms and conditions.

In submitting your CELTA application form and making payment of the CELTA application fee you are placing an order for a service offered by English Language House and you are offering to purchase this service in accordance with clause 3.3 of our Terms and Conditions for Online Purchases. 
If you have any questions about our Terms and Conditions please email us before you submit your CELTA application form.

TIME FRAME FOR ENTRY TO THE COURSE
​We recommend that candidates apply 10+ weeks in advance of the start date/s of the CELTA course they have selected. This is to allow sufficient time for:
  • Candidates to review and revise their decision
  • Elh to assess and process a candidate's application and pre-interview task
  • Elh to arrange and conduct the candidate's interview
  • Candidates to access the Elh pre-course preparation material and start preparing for their CELTA course. 
  • Candidates to attend an Elh pre-course induction, when required.   

HOW TO APPLY 
Candidates can see the full CELTA information pack including the dates and fees for the course and the application procedure.
They can contact us via our contact form or email for information and we will send them details about the course and how to apply. 
It is important to read this information thoroughly before you apply and to ask any questions you might have before you submit your application and make any payment.  

After you submit your application form, pre interview task and the non-refundable application fee:
  • We will assess your application and, if your application is successful, we will invite you to interview.
  • If your application is unsuccessful, you will not be called to interview, but we will inform you by email to let you know what you need to do in order to meet the requirements for admission to the course.     ​

CANDIDATES CONTACT DETAILS
It is essential that you give Elh your correct contact details. If your contact details change you must ensure that you email us your updated contact information. Elh will use Email, WhatsApp and telephone to make contact with you prior to and during the course and we cannot be held responsible if we are unsuccessful in contacting you because you have provided us with incorrect or out-of-date contact details.

COURSE DATES AND INTERVIEW DATES
  • We advise you to select 3 possible start dates.  
  • We will endeavour to offer you a place on the earliest available date of your choice. 
  • We usually invite candidates to interview with 14 days of receiving their application. However, we may sometimes place candidates on a waiting list and call them to interview only if there is a free place available on one or more of the course date/s they have chosen based on their selected date/s. 
  • If a candidate makes a late entry application ie applies for entry to the CELTA course less that 10 weeks before the start date, we may call them to interview in less than 14 days providing there are spaces still available.   

CONFIRMATION OF THE COURSE TIMETABLE
You will be informed of the exact CELTA timetable and location of lessons as soon as possible, and no less than 7 days before the start date of the course. 
  • Contact hours on Face2 Face and Mixed Mode CELTA courses will mostly take place in Milton Keynes
  • Contact hours on Online CELTA courses will take place Live Online via Zoom, Moodle and a selection of additional apps and/or VLPs.   

INTERVIEWS AND COURSE START DATES
As with all CELTA centres, English Language House will run courses for which there is sufficient student intake. To ensure that we can offer as many candidates the opportunity to attend the course, we conduct our application, assessment and interview procedure as follows: 

Candidates are asked to select a minimum of 3 start dates. Their application form and pre interview task is assessed and successful candidates are called to interview as follows: 
  • Candidates who select 3 or more possible course codes are usually called to interview within 14 days after we have received their application form, interview task and application fee. 
  • Candidates who only select 1 or 2 possible course codes may be called to interview within 14 days or may be placed on a waiting list and called to interview only if places are available on for the 1 or 2 start dates of their choice. 
You must ensure that the course/s you have selected are an accurate indication of the dates and times you can attend. Should this change you need to inform Elh in writing as soon as possible and, if possible, we can try to help. 

After your interview you will be sent a "conditional" or an "unconditional" offer by email to join the CELTA at Elh. 
  1. An "unconditional offer" will be sent to a candidate who at assessment is considered strong enough to attend the CELTA course indicated in one or more of the course codes of their choice.
  2. A "conditional offer" will usually be sent to a candidate who, at assessment, may not be considered strong enough to attend the CELTA course just yet and/or who may need to fulfil certain criteria prior to entry. This candidate will need to fulfil the criteria mentioned in his/her "condition offer" in order to ensure they are able to attend the CELTA course on one or more of the course codes of their choice or on an alternative course code and complete the course successfully. A conditional offer ensures that a candidate is fully aware of any potential limitation which may hamper them from completing the course successfully and is given the chance to address these limitation prior to entry in order that they can achieve the best possible end result. 


PAYMENT:
​Before your interview:
  • You will need to make payment of the ​£100 application fee when submitting your application or within 24 of receiving an offer to interview; this is an admin. charge and is non refundable.
After your interview:
  • If you receive an unconditional offer for a course that starts in 8 weeks or more, please pay the course fee of £1450 within 28 days. 
  • If you receive an unconditional offer for a course that starts in less than 28 days, please pay the course fee  of £1450 within 48 hrs.
  • If you choose to pay in half this time (ie within 14 days or within 24 hrs) the course fee is reduced to £1,350.​
  • If you choose to pay full fees in advance of your interview the course fee is reduced to £1,350.

TO CONFIRM YOUR ENTRY TO THE COURSE
To confirm your place on the course: 
  • You will need to pay the course fees by the due date. (this may be either within 28 days of receiving your "conditional offer" or within 48 hours if the course starts in less than 28 days. A discount of £100 is given when payment is made within half this time ie within 14 days or within 24 hrs, or in full in advance of the interview date. 
  • If you do not pay by the due date, Elh reserves the right to accept another candidate in your place; it is essential, if you cannot pay by the due date, that you email us to make alternative arrangements so that you do not risk forfeiting your application fee .   

REFUNDS AND CANCELATIONS
What happens if ELH cancels a course?
  • ​In the unlikely event that Elh has to cancel a course due to insufficient interest, candidates who have only selected this start date and who are unable to attend any alternative start date/s, will be refunded their course fees.   

What happens if you change your mind?
Elh needs to inform Cambridge English in advance which CELTA courses we will run and we rely on candidates giving us accurate information about the dates and times they can attend. When candidates choose their start date/s this is understood to be a true and accurate indication of the date/s candidates can attend.  
  • If a candidate needs to change one or more of their chosen start dates they must inform Elh in writing 8+ weeks in advance. They should explain why the change is necessary and give an alternative start date in place of the date they are unable to attend. Elh will try to accommodate candidates who change their minds when possible and at our discretion. Candidates who persistently change their minds risk forfeiting the fees they have already paid.
  • Last minute changes are not possible and candidates who do not take up the place they have booked will forfeit their course fees. 

What happens if you want to withdraw?
  • ​​If you want to withdraw your application you must do so in writing. We must receive your "written request to withdraw your application" within 14 days from the date you submitted this in order that we may cancel your application and issue you a refund of your application fee, if this has already been paid.
  • If you attend the interview and then decide to withdraw, no refund is available. 
  • If the course has started and then you wish to withdraw, no refund is available.  

What happens if the date/s of the course change?
If Elh cannot offer you a place on any of your chosen start dates and if you do not agree to an alternative start date Elh will refund your application fee. However, if Elh needs to delay a start date by a few days due to circumstances beyond their control, no refund will be issued. ​

EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Although candidates who withdraw are not entitled to a refund, in “exceptional circumstances”  candidates may,  at Elh's at discretion, be given a credit note to be used to attend a future course. Candidates who have started a course and are unable to complete may sometimes be given permission to defer completion to a later date. Deferrals must always be approved by Cambridge. Candidates must explain in writing the “exceptional circumstances” they want us to consider and must provide proof to authenticate what they claim eg hospital admission for emergency operation, etc  Elh will always try to help, whenever possible, so that candidates can complete the course successfully.  

COOLING OFF PERIOD
Your cooling off period is 14 days after submitting your application form. If you wish to withdraw your application you should do so in writing. Note 7.0 above, which deals with “changing your mind about your start dates’. 

Your 14 day cooling off period after application: 
After the cooling off period you cannot cancel your course and you will be liable for the full course fees when issued with an "unconditional offer". If during these 14 days you decide to cancel, you must email the Elh office as follows:
“My name is …………………. and I applied for the CELTA course at Elh. I am no longer interested in attending this course. Please can you cancel my application.” 



Candidate agreement and declaration.


a) I understand and acknowledge that:
  •  (i) the Online course is a fully online CELTA course,
  • (ii) the Face2Face course is fully face2face and
  • (iii) the Mixed Mode course is a combination of both. 

b) I understand that:  
  • If I choose (i) the Online CELTA at English Language House, (a) the course input may be delivered online via Cambridge Moodle and/or via Zoom (b) all of my teaching practice will be in an online environment ie via Zoom or Microsoft teams  (c) my course tutors will make every effort to relate online teaching techniques and methodology to face-to-face teaching. 
  • If I choose (ii) the Face2Face CELTA at English Language House, (a) the course input may be delivered onsite either face2face or via Cambridge Moodle (b) all of my teaching practice will be in a face-to-face environment (c) my tutors will make every effort to relate face-to-face teaching techniques and methodology to online teaching., 
  • If I choose (iii) the Mixed Mode CELTA at English Language House, (a) the course input will be delivered face2face onsite and/or online via Cambridge Moodle and/or Live online via Zoom (b) that teaching practice will take place in both Live online and during face2face classes. ​

c) I understand that there are differences between live online and face2face teaching. These will include differences in planning, classroom management and delivery of materials in the class and will require adjustments in methodology. I acknowledge that the tutors will refer to both modes of delivery (face2face and online delivery) during the course, so that I am prepared as much as possible to teach in both environments.
 
d) I understand that during (i) the Online course I will need to spend a considerable amount of screen time due to the online delivery of the CELTA course and that I need to have essential technical skills and equipment including a desk top computer or lap top, stable internet access, a suitable work space and suitable audio/visual accessories. I confirm I have read, understood and can meet the technical requirements set out in the course information
 
e) I will be required to attend the whole course: input, teaching practice, observations, etc. and that the course is intensive in nature and will require resilience. I will therefore need to be in good physical and emotional health at the beginning and – in so far as is possible - throughout the course
 
f) For (i) the Online 5 week course, in addition to attending online classes and online teaching practice, it will be necessary for me to allocate at least an extra 20 hours per week for homework, reading, written assignments and lesson preparation for the duration of the course. Similarly when attending any Face2Face, Online or Mixed  Mode course it will be necessary to allocate extra hours per week to complete all aspects of the course. I understand that I may need to spend an additional: 
  • 6 to 8+ hours per week if attending a 20 week course
  • 10+ hours per week if attending a 15 week course
  • ​15+ hours per week if attending a 10 week course
  • ​20+ hours per week if attending an intensive course. 
 
g) I will be required to undertake a minimum of 6 hours of online teaching practice.
 
h) I will be required to undertake a minimum of 6 hours’ observation of experienced teachers, both with recorded material and during teachers’ scheduled teaching hours.
 
i) I will be required to complete four written CELTA assignments and submit/upload the assignments to meet the deadlines. I may be asked to resubmit part or all of these assignments in order to pass the assignment specifications.
 
j) Attendance on the course does not guarantee that I will ultimately attain the necessary standard required to pass the course.
 
k) Previous academic study and/or teaching experience will not necessarily benefit me and will certainly not reduce the workload.
 
l) The CELTA assessment is made not only on my ability to plan teach and my language awareness, but also on my overall professional attitude, punctuality and behaviour.​
