CELTA courses are delivered by authorised centres on behalf of Cambridge English. All CELTA courses include a minimum of 120 hours of contact between candidates and course tutors, and include:
- tutorial support and consultation
- supervised lesson planning
- 6 hours’ assessed teaching practice per candidate supervised by a course tutor
- feedback on teaching practice
- peer-observation of teaching practice (i.e. watching the other candidates’ lessons)
- 6 hours’ of directed observation of lessons taught by experienced ELT professionals. Up to 3 of these hours may be video-recorded lessons
In addition to the 120 contact hours, candidates should also allow for approximately 80 hours of independent study for pre-course preparation, reading, research, assignment writing, lesson preparation and record keeping.
