CELTA Courses in Melbourne:
The Cambridge CELTA Certificate is the most widely recognised pre-service ELT (English Language Teaching) qualification throughout the world. It provides training to people with little or no previous experience in teaching English to adults and is therefore very practical in content.

The course aims to increase candidates’ language awareness and develop competence in communicative language teaching as well as an understanding of current teaching methodologies.

In Melbourne, the CELTA course is offered on a full-time, part-time and online-blended basis:

- Full-time CELTA course:
This course is 4 weeks long and consists of approximately 120 hours. Courses run Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5.30pm, plus homework and assignments that you will have to work on after class and over the weekends. Due to its intensive nature, the course requires a high level of commitment. To help ensure success, candidates should be free of any other work or study commitments for its duration.

- Part time CELTA course:
This is a 13 / 14 week course with classes being held on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week from 5.30pm to 8.30pm. In addition, you will also be required to attend classes on some Saturdays from 10am to 2pm. The part time course includes an online component that you will be able to complete from home.

Student Testimonial:
"Completing a CELTA program was essential in terms of being able to secure employment in the highly competitive Beijing ESL market and provided excellent preparation for teaching. The opportunity to deliver real-life classes is a unique and extremely valuable component of the CELTA course and was key to building confidence in the classroom. While the CELTA program is an intense experience it was thoroughly enjoyable and one I'd recommend to anyone considering teaching English as a second language."
