How to apply for the CELTA

HOW TO APPLY FOR ENTRY TO THE CELTA COURSE:

The closing date for application to the CELTA course is 8 weeks before the course start date. Sometimes it may be possible to consider an application made less than 8 weeks before the course start date but please check that this is possible before you apply. The application procedure will usually take a minimum of 14 days to complete.

Non UK nationals who want to join a Mixed Mode or Face2Face CELTA must have the right to study in the UK. The Elh teacher training centre will need to check that you have this right. We will ask to see your passport and the visa which allows you to study before we can accept you.
