Cambridge CELTA Course Online

In a unique collaboration with Cambridge ESOL, IH London is offering the Cambridge CELTA Course Online as a 'blended-learning' teacher training course that combines online CELTA training with face-to-face components.

Online CELTA training is assessed and moderated according to the same criteria as the face-to-face course, and the course leads to full CELTA qualification.

Online CELTA Teaching Practice

Teaching Practice (TP) is an important part of all teacher training courses. The face-to-face element of the Cambridge CELTA Course Online ensures trainees gain this valuable experience. Teaching Practice is conducted in groups, with each candidate teaching for a total of six hours, with peers observing. An experienced IH teacher trainer will give you feedback on each of your teaching practice sessions.

Online CELTA component

CELTA training in the online part of the course includes interactive tasks, guided video observation and forum discussion. The aim is to develop effective, principled teaching methodologies. An advantage of the online CELTA component is the increased amount of time and support for you to reflect on and develop what you have learnt.
