While taking the CELTA is a great way to elevate your skills no matter where you are in your teaching journey, not everyone has a chance to attend face-to-face lessons. IH London gives prospective teachers an opportunity to take the online CELTA instead, without missing out on the quality of training.
If you are still deciding whether the online CELTA is the best option for you, we’ve gathered some facts about the course that can help you make the right decision!
Accessible learning
Since we have trainees all around the world, we accommodate to different time zones to make your experience as smooth as possible. We’ve also created a part-time option for those wishing to take the CELTA while having other commitments. Compared to the full-time option, it’s less intensive and doesn’t take 100% of your time. You can watch our explainer video about the part-time online CELTA here. Accessible learning means you can take the CELTA from the comfort of your own home, having your coffee next to you on your desk!
Quality of training
The online CELTA follows the same syllabus as the face-to-face course, which means none of our trainees miss out on high-quality education. This unique method of training allows our students to get familiar with both online and face-to-face teaching, preparing them for all career possibilities. You will be joining your tutors and fellow students online via Zoom, so you’re not missing out on the social aspect either. While taking the CELTA gives students a unique opportunity-opening qualification, it also boosts the soft skills needed as well – a nice boost for your CV!
Reduction in costs
The online CELTA means you don’t have to worry about additional costs like travel, making the CELTA more accessible than ever. Taking the course online also means no stress associated with getting visas and finding accommodation, which might make the online CELTA a perfect, stress-free option for you.
Endless opportunities
Just like the face-to-face CELTA, the online option gives you endless opportunities, starting from teaching English in your local school to traveling the world. We’ve asked some of our CELTA graduates about their adventures after the course – their answers were fascinating!
IH London benefits
