A full-time CELTA course (Intensive) is designed for people who wish to get a CELTA certificate quickly and have a free month to devote to it. It involves 20 days of course attendance during a four-week period, with trainees coming to British Council Colombo. Please note that for the intensive option trainees need to be available for the full four weeks and cannot have other (work) commitments during that time to be able to devote an additional 80-120 hours to the coursework. On a part-time course (Extensive), the 20 days of the course are conducted over a 10-week period, two days a week.
