The Teaching House CELTA application process is designed with two aims in mind:

• To provide trainees with a clear idea of what the CELTA course is, what they can expect to get from it and what is required of them.
• To ensure that trainees who are accepted have a very high chance of successfully completing the course and in finding suitable work teaching.

The process for applying for the CELTA course is as follows:

1. Candidates complete the application form. This can either be the online application form or by requesting that one is emailed to them (as a word document). These two routes are exactly the same. To ensure that you receive our online responses promptly, please add info@teachinghouse.com to your Allowed Emails list.
2. One of our trainers will follow up your application by email and send you a copy of the pre-course task (a word document). This is a series of language and teaching activities designed to give trainees an idea of what the course (and teaching English!) is about.
3. Once we have received your pre-course task, we will set up a time for an interview that is convenient for you. Interviews can be carried out either in person or by phone.
4. The interview is a chance for you to meet the trainers and see the center (if done in person) and also for the trainers to finalize your suitability for the course.
5. The candidate pays the deposit to confirm place on the CELTA course of his or her choice (subject to availability—given on a first-come, first-served basis).
6. Three weeks before the start of the course, the candidate pays the outstanding course fee (see: Course Fees for more details).
