Welcome to the Academy during Covid-19
28th August 2020
Welcome to the Academy!
We all know this year has been unexpected and we have all had to change our plans, adapt and innovate, whilst supporting our families, friends and local communities. At Celtic we quickly adapted to the pandemic transitioning all our programmes online and not a single lesson was missed! Hats off to our teachers who have gone above and beyond to make sure that students have the same quality teaching and experience online as the students that are with us in the classroom.
We were pleased to announce that after a lot of preparation and hard work, we officially re-opened our doors to students from September!
What to expect at the Academy if I study in Cardiff?
When you visit, you will notice some changes at the Academy to keep everyone safe:
- Hand sanitiser stations are available in all classrooms and as you enter the buildings
- Plastic screens at reception and at the desks of key support staff
- Floor markings to guide you around the academy whilst maintaining distance from other students and staff. Look out for the priority directions, they are like traffic signs!
- Desks and chairs in classrooms have been spaced out for social distancing
- Classes are on average 4-6 students in person, instead of the maximum of 10 usually

Here are a few things to remember before you start your course!
