Accommodation Options

Trainees can book a single room in a flat, with use of kitchen and bathroom for the 4 week period. Prices range from EUR450,00 to EUR520,00 according to location and type of flat. A down payment of EUR100,00 is to be paid at the moment of enrolment; the balance of payment must be paid on arrival directly at the family/flat.

The flat can be either with a family (please note that most of the 'families' are actually single people), other candiates on the CELTA course or with university students.

On acceptance for the CELTA course candidates pay the first week of payment for accommodation to the school. They pay the difference of the remaining three weeks on arrival at the flat.

The school checks the accommodation for suitablilty and does not charge any fee for providing this service. It is however not responsible for any problems that arise.

Accommodation is from the day before the course begins until the day after the course ends.
