What is the best way to tackle the CELTA pre-interview task? How do you go about dealing with the pre-interview task? Watch this video for tips and run through of a common pre-interview activity.
Last week, I shared a post and video about the CELTA Interview and there were quite a few questions about the CELTA Pre-Interview Task. I created a video detailing how to complete the Pre-Interview Task by walking you through the task and how to answer some of the questions.
The CELTA Course is the most widely recognised qualification to teach English as a foreign language, also know as TEFL. The Cambridge CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults) is a very intense course with very high expectations by all centres and it will prepare those for a career in TEFL. To be accepted on to the course, you are expected to complete a pre-interview task/activity. It is very thorough but with the right support, you will be accepted.

HI Martin,
Thanks for sharing this video. Just wanted to point out that different centres might have different pre-interview tasks – there isn’t just one version of it, though the tips you give are useful.

Thanks Sandy for the clarification. I shall add this to the description to the video. I appreciate your input.
Hello! I have done the British Concil Pre-interview task that you posted here, but I couldn’t find the answers to it. |Do you know if they are available? Thanks in advance.
