The Certificate
At the end of the course, candidates receive a certificate directly from Cambridge University with their name and their grade. The certificate is exactly the same world-wide, regardless of where the course was taken.
Course Format
EfA's CELTA courses in 2020 were all "fully online" courses. This is a format that was created by Cambridge to adapt to new conditions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a typical blended CELTA course, teaching practice is done in person (not online). In the fully online course, teaching practice will be done online, using a platform such as Zoom.
The certificate candidates receive at the end of the course does not indicate that it is an online course. It is exactly the same certificate, as are the assessment criteria and content of the course.
EfA will also launch both face-to-face and blended (face-t0-face teaching practice) courses in Morocco this year. The courses will take place in Rabat, with two concurrent courses, one full-time (C1, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.30) and the other blended/part-time (P1, TP only on the weekend). This will be followed up by another full-time intesive course in Tangier (C2).

EfA works with a limited number of trainers, in order to ensure that courses are consistent and of high quality.
