CELTA courses

The full-time course is extremely intensive, requiring attendance between 9am and 5.30pm Monday to Thursday and Friday 09.00 to 17.00. The part-time course runs all day  Monday and Tuesday  morning and gives you the flexibility to fit your study programme around other professional and personal commitments.
