RULES
CELT has a set of rules which apply to attendance and behaviour.

The CELTA is a 100% attendance course and absences are discouraged unless for a serious medical reason.

These rules state, for example, that students must attend all classes, must not appear in class drinking alcohol or using substances. Smoking is not allowed during sessions.  Trainees must come to sessions appropriately attired in a manner expected of teachers. No one will be allowed in sessions or teaching practices wearing revealing clothes. Trainees must be respectful to tutors, course mates, students and CELT admin staff. Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated. Failure to follow these rules of conduct and attendance may result in the centre asking trainees to leave immediately with no refund of fees.

CANCELLATION POLICY
If you have registered but have to cancel your period of study more than 14 days before the start you must pay a €250 cancellation fee.

Less than 14 days before the start – you must pay the equivalent of one week’s fulltime tuition (and accommodation if an arrangement has been made for you by the centre). 

Trainees who withdraw from a course due to sudden illness or personal problems will be given the opportunity to re-enrol in a later course, provided there is a vacancThe course is demanding and sometimes stressful. Candidates who withdraw after the beginning of the course, giving stress-related conditions as a reason, will not be offered a refund of their course fees.

Candidates who withdraw from the course due to health problems or disabilities, of which the centre was not notified prior to the course start, are not entitled to a refund and it is upon the centre’s discretion to offer them a place on a later course – each case to be examined separately and on its own merits.

In the event of a course being cancelled by the centre, two choices will be offered to candidates:

1. a transfer to a later date or
2. a full refund 

ASSESSMENT, RESULTS & CERTIFICATION
CELT Athens reserves the right to bar a trainee teacher from their final assessment for a course they have attended if one or more of the following conditions are not met:

1. The trainee's internal assessment is incomplete.
2. The trainee has not fully paid their course fees.
3. The trainee has not attended 100% of the course

Final grades are decided by the Tutors and validated by the Course Assessor.

Upon successful completion of the course, trainees are awarded a Centre Report outlining their progress and their grade. This is sent to the trainees via email but it is signed and printed on centre stationery which allows candidates to use for job applications while waiting for their Cambridge Certificate.

In about 6 weeks after the end of a course, the CELTA Certificate arrives from Cambridge. The centre undertakes to post CELTA Certificates to candidates via registered post so a clear and accurate postal address must be included in this application form.

Important!

The language level of the candidates is specified as C1 minimum - or higher - by Cambridge. All candidates are graded on their language skills during teaching assessments and via their written assignments. It is possible to FAIL the course because of this or because the tutors believe that a candidate does not fulfil important assessment criteria. All tutor decisions are moderated and validated by Cambridge.

If a candidate fails, they must repeat the full course and pay full tuition and Cambridge
