Access to our exclusive Digital Toolkit created specifically for CELTA to help streamline your lesson planning, materials creation, research and overall learning experience to facilitate your course.

Our CELTA 100% Online course timetable combines the benefit of having access to a range of online resources and materials, and contact learning to allow for maximum flexibility and preparation in how you do your course and minimal time spent away from earning an income. Because, let’s face it, not everyone can afford to take unlimited time off work.

Most CELTA courses out there are run over 4 weeks, Monday to Friday, very intensively. There are also some options which run over 5 weeks. One of the drawbacks of the full-time contact CELTA is the speed at which information is imparted, which is often too fast to take on board everything in just 4 weeks or 5 weeks. However, our CELTA allows for more time for you to process information and prepare for teaching practice. How do we do this? Our timetable is either:

• CELTA100% online – Full Time – 6 weeks
• CELTA100% online – Part Time – 12 weeks

What’s the timetable like?:

*twice a week for Full-time courses
**subject to peer availability and course planning

A typical live online day on the course
(just once a week on Part Time Courses)

University Programmes runs CELTA online using the materials that Cambridge Assessment English developed in partnership with International House London. These include:

• Access to a fully equipped website with ELT materials, coursebooks and audios for use in the classroom.
• Access to a bank of videoed lessons you can watch according to you lesson focus and scope, before and after Teaching Practice.
• An online library with materials and resources specific to each assignment on the course.
• Specifically designed and selected resources to facilitate your learning journey, with automatised lesson planning tools, lesson plans samples and assignments as written by previous candidates.
• Access to your CELTA portfolio online even long after your course. Your CELTA portfolio is kept online on a cloud for you to access this from anywhere in the world!.

CELTA is offered at various centres around the world, but University Programmes provides unique materials, including a complementary course on Teaching English Online, completely free of charge!

If CELTA is not enough, you can take any of our extra elective sessions in parallel to CELTA! As a university, we are in a privileged position to include extra elective study sessions on the course specifically designed for language work, further lesson planning, skills teaching, online applications, and more. These sessions are meant to give candidates further support if the core CELTA programme is not enough or simply take advantage of your peers, or other candidates on other programmes, and tutors, ask them more questions as needed outside regular CELTA classroom hours!

Your programme coordinator will make a list of available electives in week 1 of your course and you can join as many as you want!

Most CELTA courses include four written assignments which candidates have to submit during the course in the following order:

• Language Skills Task
• Language Task
• Focus on the Learner
• Lessons from the Classroom

This is in addition to your weekly Teaching Practices, which makes the CELTA course very intensive and stressful. However, on our course you will get mini-workshops for the written assignments so what better way to work on your assignments with the help of your tutors!

University Programmes is in a privileged position to be able to facilitate the transition from being a graduate from CELTA to the active ELT market!

University Programmes provides:

• • Extensive teaching practice, including extra areas of ELT specialism you can include on your CV (e.g. Young Learners, Business English, Teaching 1-2-1, Teaching for Exams and English for Specific Purposes.
  • Access to the International House World Organisation network of schools.
  • Job, CV and careers advice including access to our Job Fair at the end of every single CELTA 100% Online course.
  • Access to our international network of recruiters in the USA, China, Vietnam, and Slovenia who are actively seeking qualified teachers. For example, our partner in the USA, International Teach Alliance (part of International Alliance Group) is looking to fill government sponsored teaching positions in accredited schools across the USA for 3-5 year contracts. They offer special contracts for USA citizens and for non-USA citizens, they provide J-1 Visa assistance, getting your Social Security Number, housing assistance, medical insurance coverage and the option to bring your family!

• Access to our Alumni network via LinkedIn where we post local and international jobs and where you can continue to expand your ELT network moving forward.

• “Being trained under International House quality standards is a synonym of excellence and professionalism”

We believe access to education and training should not be a privilege of just a few! Our course option provides the lowest and most competitive price in the market, and we can also offer a Payment Installment Plan to assist students who are unable to pay for the course right away!
