Choosing the Auvergne region and Puy-en-Velay for your CELTA

In our experience there are a few essential ingredients for the success of your CELTA experience: keeping your level of stress down, making sure you are surrounded by a group of helpful, friendly people and taking time when possible to enjoy your surroundings and eat good food. Which is why we’ve decided to open a CELTA centre in the Auvergne, an extraordinary region full of medieval history, beautiful sites and fine gastronomy. Following on the success of our five week ‘slow’ CELTA course in Brittany we have decided to copy this idea at our new centre in the Auvergne. On the five week CELTA you have effectively 12 free days for your lesson planning and assignments compared to just 6 on the four week course. This makes the whole experience a lot less stressful plus you have the time to do some exploring and enjoy the beauty of the region.

We have set up a partnership with a ‘Le Foyer du Consulat’, a socio-cultural centre in the town of Le Puy. It’s a beautiful old building which has been completely restored with light attractive training rooms, a comfortable communal eating area and a lovely courtyard with lots of plants where we can sit out in breaks. The whole has a very welcoming feeling and I’m confident you feel feel at home there.
