Course Organisation

The course cycle comprises 90 hours of seminar  work, as well as additional hours of self-access study. It is usually organised as a part-time course during the school year. Seminars are held at CELT.  

It can be organised face-to-face or online. To participate on an online course, you need to have access to the web and a fast connection, a headset and (ideally) a PC or laptop with a good graphics card. Online sessions are held in a virtual classroom and not by correspondence via e-mail, so the same topics and number of contact hours are covered as with the face-to-class,.

Who can apply to attend

All applicants must have completed their secondary level education and have a level of English at least at C2 level. This is determined by an internally set examination and personal interview.

Candidates whose pre-course examination results indicate a level of English equivalent to or below, are advised to attend this Language Awareness Course first, with a view to improving their level as required for obtaining an Advanced Certificate demonstrating a satisfactory level of performance for professional use in the classroom (grade B and above).

The course is also suitable for native English TEFL teachers  who have not been taught English Grammar and would like to prepare for a CELTA or DELTA course.
