CELTA

Course Information

How can I take the course?

We offer a variety of ways to take the CELTA with Live Language:
4-week intensive face-to-face CELTA courses (all teaching practice and input sessions take place at our centre in Glasgow)

10-week / 11-week online CELTA courses (teaching practice takes place two evenings per week and input is completed by working through online Moodle units at a time which suits you)
Whichever way you decide to complete your CELTA, you will receive the same high standard of training from our experienced and friendly tutors. You will also receive the same certificate whether you decide to take the course face-to-face or online.
