Customer Feedback
I would recommend the CELTA to anybody who wants to learn to be a good English teacher.
Matt Blason
The trainers on the course were both excellent. They combined an intimate knowledge of teaching methodology and the English language with humour and empathy, which really helped me as a trainee.
I like Bangkok. I was able to find cheap accommodation and I know how to get around with the minimum of fuss. I would recommend Bangkok as a CELTA destination.

Course Description
Bangkok is an exciting central location in one of the most dynamic cities in Asia with plenty of social facilities to enjoy. All courses are taught by the highly qualified teacher trainers, who amongst them have over 40 years English language teaching experience in 5 continents. Courses are held at the centrally located Siam Square Branch in Bangkok. However, off-site courses may be held by arrangement.
The Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) is designed for both native speakers and non-native speakers with a near native-speaker competence, who are aged over 18 and have a high level of formal education. Previous teaching experience is not required. During the course, candidates develop familiarity with the principles of effective teaching and acquire a range of practical skills for teaching English to adult learners. The course includes teaching practice, observation of experienced teachers in the classroom and completion of a range of practically focussed written assignments.
The course is highly practical in nature and aims to provide a thorough grounding in the teaching methodology and language analysis necessary for effective English teaching. Internationally recognized, the CELTA is run in over 100 centres world-wide and is widely regarded as one of the most important and valuable forms of training in TEFL. Please look at the Cactus site, for more general information about the course content.

It is the most active private language school in Bangkok and runs a wide variety of courses.
Students range in age from young children to retirement age adult learners, and in ability from absolute beginners to advanced.
