FULLY ONLINE
The fully online CELTA is most suited for candidates who prefer the flexibility of online study, would like to limit their travel and accommodation costs and those who intend to teach online. This course will not only train you to teach English to international students but will also give you a very valuable insight of how to teach in a virtual learning environment. |
FACE 2 FACE
The fully face2face CELTA is especially suitable for candidates who prefer to study in a face2face, and plan to teach classes mostly face2face . It is also sitable for candidates who are not very comfortable with technology or those who prefer to travel to a specific location to attend their CELTA course. This course will cover some elements of teaching in a virtual learning environment but will not give trainees practice in this. |
MIXED MODE

The mixed mode course is particularly suited to candidates who want to get experience of both online and face-to-face teaching. This course will cover both face2face and online teaching and will give trainees practice in both. |

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.
