CELTA qualification
The decision to study for the CELTA in addition to LCTE7900 is your decision and is not compulsory. The advantage of completing both qualifications is that the Cambridge ESOL CELTA is recognised worldwide (with over 12000 candidates qualifying every year) and is therefore a valuable qualification to add to your CV when applying for work in the UK and abroad. There is no additional academic work required but if you take the CELTA you will need to complete a CELTA 5 record booklet in which you need to record administrative details in terms of your progress.
The decision to enter for the CELTA is made at the beginning of Term 2; you will need to achieve a minimum of a mid C grade in your Progress Test and in Assignment 1. Once it has been agreed with the TEFL Course Unit Course Coordinator that you can be entered for the CELTA you will need to pay an entry fee to Cambridge ESOL (£127) by Monday 14 January 2013. Please note that in order for the UCL CLIE to offer students the opportunity to enter for the CELTA a minimum of 10 students must register.
