Cambridge CELTA
This is an intensive four-week course. The timetable is divided into two closely related parts. Methodology and language analysis input sessions are followed by daily teaching practice where groups of up to five trainees work with small classes of students and gain experience of teaching at different levels. After each teaching practice session there is a feedback in the group about the day's lesson. The observation of practising teachers is an intrinsic part of the course and requires trainees to be in the centre during the evening outside course hours.
