Places in all CELTA courses are limited. Admission is selective and all three stages must be completed to confirm your place on a given course.
Complete the application form and complete the pre-interview task.
Please notice that the next course is in June 2010
International House Palermo reviews the pre-interview assignment and interviews candidates (out-of-city candidates can usually be interviewed by phone/skype).
International House Palermo will confirm acceptance to qualified candidates at the end of the interview. Course fees are due four weeks prior to the start of the course. To guarantee your place on the course you must pay a deposit of 500 euros.
If you are offered a place, and if you confirm your place with the payment of your deposit, IH will send you a pre-course task that will help you prepare for your course. The pre-course task is similar to, but more comprehensive than, the pre-interview assignment. It provides a good introduction to the topics of the course. Applicants who complete the pre-course task generally perform better on the course than those who do not.
In an effort to maintain the lowest possible tuition costs in a labour-intensive, limited enrollment programme, International House Palermo will refund your tuition fees, less 25% for administrative processing only if:
the course has a full complement of qualified trainees and
International House Palermo can confirm the admission of a qualified alternate. International House Palermo makes no refund if these two conditions are not met or if you withdraw from a course after it has begun.
While CELTA training is standardised, every approved teacher training centre has its own style, services, and approach. We hope this information has helped you understand what the CELTA course at IH is like. If you believe this course meets your professional needs, we look forward to receiving your application and pre-interview task.
