Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm

This is a fully accredited 5-week fast-track online course which prepares candidates to teach in both a regular classroom as well as online. No previous experience is needed in using the Zoom platform as training is given as part of the course.

Sessions are delivered by our tutors in an interactive and practical manner through Zoom. These sessions are designed to help candidates acquire and put into practice the knowledge and techniques which are needed when teaching in a regular classroom environment as well as in an online classroom. Preparation time is timetabled in every day when our tutors give guidance on how to prepare for and plan lessons. Teaching Practice takes place through Zoom with these lessons occurring in the morning or afternoon.

Our 10-week CELTA course is fully online using the official Cambridge platform and Zoom. Trainees complete work using the Cambridge platform for course material.
