Terms and Conditions for CELTA

Please read these terms and conditions carefully.

• Places on courses can only be confirmed after payment is made in full
• Candidates are expected to attend the whole course. Should a candidate know in advance that she/he cannot attend the whole course, they must inform the interviewer of this fact at interview.
• Courses can be very intensive and time consuming; it is extremely difficult to hold down any type of work and follow an intensive course successfully.
• Courses can often be stressful. There are different grades awarded according to consistency of Cambridge criteria met. For example, on a CELTA course grades are Pass A, B & Pass.

• Candidates need to be in good physical and mental health to undertake a course and must inform the tutors at interview if they have any health problems that may make the course more difficult to follow.
• Fees are not refundable under any circumstances: any candidate who fails to attend regularly or who withdraws from the course for whatever reason, even owing to circumstances beyond their control, is liable for payment of the whole course.
• It is possible to fail the course.
• A minimum number of 6-8 participants is required on courses and varies from course to course.
• Deadline for enrolment is 7 days prior to the course start date.
• Candidates must complete and bring on day one of the course the Pre-course task.
