The full-time CELTA courses are intensive, face-to-face sessions with a minimum of 120 contact hours, and an additional 80+ hours of self-study. These include lesson plan preparation, assignments and selection of classroom materials. The full-time CELTA course is taken over 4 to 5 weeks period, and involves a high level of commitment. Trainees will be interacting with the tutors on a daily basis.
The part-time format is also a face-to-face course that covers a 120-hour course duration with equal hours for self-study. However, unlike the full-time course, the part-time course is less intensive and spans from few weeks to months, usually between 10 weeks and 5 months. This format is suitable for teachers who are working and looking for a evening/weekend class.
The part-time CELTA courses in Australia runs on selected days of the week and/or weekends. Typically, two days on weekdays, and a full day on Saturday.
CELTA online classes offer a flexible method of earning a CELTA certification by merging online training with physical teaching practice. Most of the input sessions are taken through interactive online materials, forums and live session with a tutor support. You only need to travel to your CELTA centre for lesson planning and teaching practice.
The online course span from 10 weeks to an academic year. The blended CELTA format is suitable for candidates who wish to take the course but may not be able to travel to the center for the entire duration.
The certificates across all 3 formats will remain the same. All three formats are globally accepted and accredited by the Cambridge Language Assessment.
