Cambridge CELTA ONLINE part-time courses with Lang LTC
WHAT’S Cambridge CELTA?
CELTA is the most internationally recognized English Language Teaching certificate in the world, with the highest standards assured by Cambridge English Language Assessment throughout the course.
This uniquely practical teaching qualification, aimed at those with no, little or extensive teaching experience, exceeds all platform- and theory-based TEFL courses. A fusion of theory and practice – it combines a practical approach to methodology and extensive supervised teaching practice with feedback from Cambridge accredited tutors.
Importantly, CELTA is NOT an exam or test. You obtain a certificate after completing the course and once you have met all the Pass criteria. The online CELTA course follows the same Syllabus as the face-to-face course and the certificates are identical. The mode of delivery (f2f or online) is not mentioned on the certificate.

WHAT IS THE COURSE SCHEDULE?
They are quite intensive but perfect for people who want a more relaxed pace and need to keep their other commitments during the week. You can keep earning money and enjoying Sundays off while doing the course with us.
During the course, you meet tutors and students in real-time during live video sessions, human-to-human online. You don’t learn passively on an online platform but actively, in conversations with tutors and your colleagues. You need to attend 100% of the scheduled sessions.
A typical day includes the following live video online meetings on ZOOM:
Teaching Practice aka TP (observed and assessed 45-minute lessons, max. 1 lesson per week, 8 lessons in total)
TP Eye Opener Session (group discussions after each observed TP)
Individual Tutorials (twice during the course)
Lesson Observations (tutor demos and lessons by experienced CELTA-qualified teachers)
Input Sessions (interactive workshops)
Consolidation Sessions (Q&A slots when you can ask tutors questions )
CELTA Lounge (time to socialise and have a laugh together)
You also need to make time for self-study during the week: it is up to you when. In total, you will need min. 80 hours for self-study per course (ca. 8-12 hours per week). This self-study is not scheduled or directly supervised – you will simply need this time to prepare and you decide when you can do it.
Before each of your 8 observed lessons, you will also have a 30-60 minute ZOOM consultation with your tutor about the lesson plan – we call it GLP aka Guided Lesson Planning. This will be scheduled at a time convenient to you and the tutor.

WHAT DO LANG’S CELTA GRADUATES SAY?
Little did I know.
Some people say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.”
This team of people will not only show you how to fish. They’ll give you a proper fishing rod, made of solid, well-researched elements. They’ll venture with you towards the stormy seas of online teaching, guiding you through the challenges of online classroom management toward your best performance. They’ll personalize your path, making sure you progress no matter the point at which you start. They will do their best to answer every question you may have and they will do so with a pinch of humour one may so much need in difficult moments coming naturally with every worthwhile challenge. And all the while, they’ll genuinely care for your mental health, making sure you keep the right balance between hard work and time to unwind.
Prepare for a concentrated dose of professionalism, knowledge, practical training, creativity, and empathy.
And for that magical moment, to share with other trainees and your tutors, when you’ll see that spark in your students’ eyes: “I’ve learned it and I’ve enjoyed it”.
I learned a lot in this entire process and journey, not only about teaching English but also about self-development through identifying my own strengths and weaknesses in teaching, thanks to all the tutors.
I definitely had many take-aways, and I’m just very glad I chose the Warsaw center. Thank you for everything, Milada, Beata, and Sarah. 🙂
The course has been incredibly useful in giving me a practical and solid methodology to provide my classes with more structure and student-centred activities.
