FULLY ONLINE
Your training and teaching practice will be in an online learning environment with groups of learners and observed by your trainer. This is particularly useful if you want the flexibility of online study, if you want to limit travel costs, or if you plan to teach English online as you’ll learn more about the digital tools needed |
FACE 2 FACE
Your teaching practice will be in a classroom with groups of learners and observed by your trainer. Your training sessions will be face-to-face or a combination with online study. This is especially suitable if you prefer studying face-to-face, if you only want to teach face-to-face classes, or if you want to travel to take your CELTA in a particular place. |
MIXED MODE ie a combination of Face2Face and Online
Your training will be may be a blend of online and face-to-face. Your teaching practice will include face-to-face lessons in a classroom and lessons in an online learning environment. Your teaching practice will be with groups of learners and observed by your trainer. This is particularly good if you want to get experience of both online and face-to-face teaching. |

IF A CANDIDATE IS NOT OFFERED AN INTERVIEW
If your application is unsuccessful you will not be called to interview.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE INTERVIEW
After your interview we will email you with our offer. This may be an unconditional offer or a conditional offer.
- An unconditional offer is made to candidates who at interview are considered to be strong enough to attend the type/s of CELTA course/s they have selected on the start date/s they have selected.
- A conditional offer will usually be made to candidates who are required to fulfil certain conditions before they can join the CELTA course.
WHY MIGHT A CANDIDATE RECEIVE A CONDITIONAL OFFER?
If you receive a conditional offer you will need to fulfil the conditions described in your offer before you can join the CELTA. Here are some examples why we may issue a conditional offer:
- Candidate A has chosen a mixed mode CELTA but their knowledge of IT is too limited to be able to deal with preparing and teaching lessons online. Our conditional offer may require this candidate to either join a face2face course instead of a mixed mode or to improve their IT skills and then join a mixed mode course
- Candidate B has chosen a full time course but during their interview they told us that they would not be able to attend for 3 days of the course. Our conditional offer may require this candidate to either change their plans so that they don't miss these 3 days or to select a different course, on an alternative start date, during which they will not miss any days.
- Candidate 3 is an overseas national residing outside the UK. They have chosen a face2face course but they do not have the required visa to be able to study in the UK. Our conditional offer may require this candidate to either apply for a visa which will allow them to study in the UK or to join a fully online course which they can attend from anywhere in the world.
