option run mainly by distance via e-mail. Course participants send in
assignments, receive input and feedback, and attend individual tutorials
on areas arising from their work. The course is completed in twelve months
over four terms or over two academic years. Fees are the same for both
options but the centre reserves the right to accept candidates for one or
the other option depending on their performance at entry point and their
development during the course.

Student Support
Apart from communication via
e-mail, CELT has uploaded a number of pages on the web whose sole aim is
to support and inform its students so that they have access to important links
leading to lexicons, articles and databases free of charge. The web address is
announced exclusively to those registering on the course and is password
protected. This is a sub-domain of the CELT Athens website set up for the sole
purpose of providing support and guidance to those attending the course by
distance. CELT Athens also offers its candidates an excellent Support system, a
highly specialised Self-Access Centre for trainees on
the course and a Lending Library facility to its
candidates. The library contains
many of the theoretical texts related to the course content. Students who can
come into the centre can use the library free of charge.
