Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any required preparation for the course?

To help you prepare for the course, you will receive a pre-course task to complete. Then, we'll send you an answer key a few days before the course. We also recommend that you purchase a methodology book (eg. Scrivener, ‘Learning Teaching’) and a grammar book (eg. Swan, ‘Practical English Usage’), which you can refer to while doing the pre-course task, as well as during and after the course.

How much extra learning time is required during the course?

Candidates need to put in up to 180 additional learning hours for pre-course preparation during evenings and weekends. This includes time spent on lesson planning and writing assignments during the course and pre-course preparation.

How are participants assessed?

Assessment is continuous and is based on teaching practice and assignments. Progress is communicated to trainees through feedback and grading of individual lessons through tutorials and feedback on written assignments. Tutors agree on the final grade in consultation with an external assessor, who visits the center for one day to moderate grading and ensure that all Cambridge regulations are followed.

What methodology is encouraged?

CELTA is broadly based on the communicative approach. There is a strong emphasis on student involvement in the learning process and trainees are encouraged to think in terms of learning, rather than teaching.

Do employers accept CELTA Certificates?

There is a growing demand for ELT professionals worldwide, and it is becoming more and more necessary to have CELTA in order to enter the global ELT profession. Many schools require CELTA as a minimum qualification, and most offer a higher salary to CELTA-qualified teachers. Contact Good Hope Studies for more information.
