There is no final examination on the CELTA. The assessment is continuous (throughout the course) and integrated (all components count towards the final grade). Assessment is based on candidates' evaluation throughout the course in the following two components:

• Teaching practice
• Written assignments

You are also required to maintain a portfolio of your work during the course. The course is assessed in accordance with University of Cambridge ESOL guidelines.

Individual tutorials are held with trainees to monitor and discuss progress. You’ll also be informed of your progress through feedback of your teaching practice and written assignments.

The assessment for CELTA certification is externally moderated by an assessor approved by the University of Cambridge. The assessor visits the center during the second half of the course and looks at candidates’ portfolios and observes teaching practice.
