Taking a face-to-face course
CELTA courses are run by authorised centres, based on specifications produced by Cambridge Assessment English.
The CELTA face-to-face courses can be taken in different ways:
- full time – usually 4–5 weeks
- part time – from a few months to over the course of a year
More than 1,500 CELTA courses are available every year at over 300 approved centres in more than 80 countries.
Before contacting your centre, please check you meet the following criteria:
- Are you 18 or over?
- Do you have a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education?
- Is your English good enough to teach at a range of levels? (Minimum CEFR Level high C1–C2 or above.)
If you do not have formal educational qualifications at the level indicated above, centres may still accept you, if you can demonstrate that you would be likely to complete the course successfully.
