Additional Note
We would like to point out that the four-week University of Cambridge CELTA course is highly intensive in nature and some people may find it
challenging. Experience has shown that additional factors outside the course, such as divorce, sickness in the family or other personal problems strongly disadvantage participants and cannot be taken into consideration by tutors in the overall assessment. Any disability which may affect teaching performance, such as poor hearing, MUST be mentioned at interview as must any medical conditions which may affect your participation or that of your colleagues.

Help for Jobs
This centre actively seeks teachers for the busier summer months from mid-June until mid-September. Many former trainees have gained their first teaching experience working in our Vacation centre and residential or non-residential young learners’ courses. Some are also employed in the main school on general intensive courses too.
On the CELTA course, we assist trainees by giving practical guidance on CVs, preparing for a typical interview and questions to ask before accepting a post in the UK or abroad. We have a ‘jobs board’ advertising international vacancies and, being long-established as a training centre with a good local reputation for the quality of our graduates, Bournemouth schools often contact us during courses when they need new teachers.
