Our CELTA 100% Online course timetable combines the benefit of having access to a range of online resources and materials, and contact learning to allow for maximum flexibility and preparation in how you do your course and minimal time spent away from earning an income. Because, let’s face it, not everyone can afford to take unlimited time off work.
Most CELTA courses out there are run over 4 weeks, Monday to Friday, very intensively. There are also some options which run over 5 weeks. One of the drawbacks of the full-time contact CELTA is the speed at which information is imparted, which is often too fast to take on board everything in just 4 weeks or 5 weeks. However, our CELTA allows for more time for you to process information and prepare for teaching practice. How do we do this? Our timetable is either:
- CELTA100% online – Full Time – 6 weeks
- CELTA100% online – Part Time – 12 weeks
What’s the timetable like?:
1. Monday to Friday: Input via our online platform with a flexible timetable so you can study at your own convenience (i.e. there is not a specific time when you need to be available online for input during the week). |
2. Teaching Practice, Feedback and Guided Lesson Planning: only once a week*, you will have to be connected for 4-5 hours of live sessions. Moreover, on the selected day there will be a morning and an evening session so that we can cater to people with different time requirements**. |
3. CELTA Masterclasses every week (optional) where tutors supplement what you learned on the platform and you can get your questions answered. Sessions are recorded, so if you can’t make it to the live session you can watch the recording at your convenience. |
*twice a week for Full-time courses
**subject to peer availability and course planning

CELTA is offered at various centres around the world, but University Programmes provides unique materials, including a complementary course on Teaching English Online, completely free of charge!
If CELTA is not enough, you can take any of our extra elective sessions in parallel to CELTA! As a university, we are in a privileged position to include extra elective study sessions on the course specifically designed for language work, further lesson planning, skills teaching, online applications, and more. These sessions are meant to give candidates further support if the core CELTA programme is not enough or simply take advantage of your peers, or other candidates on other programmes, and tutors, ask them more questions as needed outside regular CELTA classroom hours!
Your programme coordinator will make a list of available electives in week 1 of your course and you can join as many as you want!
Most CELTA courses include four written assignments which candidates have to submit during the course in the following order:
- Language Skills Task
- Language Task
- Focus on the Learner
- Lessons from the Classroom
This is in addition to your weekly Teaching Practices, which makes the CELTA course very intensive and stressful. However, on our course you will get mini-workshops for the written assignments so what better way to work on your assignments with the help of your tutors!
University Programmes is in a privileged position to be able to facilitate the transition from being a graduate from CELTA to the active ELT market!
University Programmes provides:
-
- Extensive teaching practice, including extra areas of ELT specialism you can include on your CV (e.g. Young Learners, Business English, Teaching 1-2-1, Teaching for Exams and English for Specific Purposes.
- Access to the International House World Organisation network of schools.
- Job, CV and careers advice including access to our Job Fair at the end of every single CELTA 100% Online course.
- Access to our international network of recruiters in the USA, China, Vietnam, and Slovenia who are actively seeking qualified teachers. For example, our partner in the USA, International Teach Alliance (part of International Alliance Group) is looking to fill government sponsored teaching positions in accredited schools across the USA for 3-5 year contracts. They offer special contracts for USA citizens and for non-USA citizens, they provide J-1 Visa assistance, getting your Social Security Number, housing assistance, medical insurance coverage and the option to bring your family!

Frequently asked questions
It’s both. CELTA covers methodology and techniques used in both TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). CELTA is often called an ELT (English Language Teaching) certificate because it is applicable to all types of English Language Teaching.
There is no such thing as “the TESL certificate” just as there is no such thing as “the B.A.”. There are several kinds of TESL/TEFL/TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificates offered by many institutions. CELTA is one of those certificates. CELTA is an ELT (English Language Teaching) certificate, which encompasses TESL and TEFL. It is the most widely recognized and respected international pre-service certificate offered in Mexico and in the world.
CELTA is a standardized course overseen by the Cambridge English Language Assessment, which is part of the Cambridge University in England. This department ensures that all CELTA courses meet their standards regarding curriculum and methods of assessment. Cambridge-appointed assessors visit every CELTA course in the world to ensure standardization. University Programmes runs 20 CELTA courses per year, in 4 different locations, and is therefore visited 20 times per year by Cambridge assessors. Because CELTA is offered in centres all over the world, employers have become familiar with the course and they are aware of what they get when they hire a certified person. Also, they have confidence that anyone with a CELTA certificate has received effective, practical, and real-world training that enables them to successfully manage a teaching position.
Yes, your English needs to be of a near-native level. This means that you need to have a command of English that allows you to complete all written assignments and teaching practice requirements according to the University of Cambridge standards.
No. Prior teaching experience is not a necessary prerequisite to being accepted onto a CELTA course.
