Who is the CELTA for?
If you have little or no previous teaching experience or you do not have a formal teaching qualification, then CELTA could be the course you are looking for.

The school offers one of the world's foremost initial qualifications for people who wish to become professional teachers of English language. It is accepted throughout the world by organisations which employ English language teachers.

How it works
The four week intensive course provides an introduction to teaching methods, language analysis, phonology and classroom techniques.

It includes input sessions, observations of experienced teachers, observed teaching practice and written assignments.

Assessment is continuous throughout the course and focuses on participation, performance in teaching practice and feedback and written assignments.

Each CELTA course is checked and approved by an external assessor appointed by UCLES to ensure consistent high standards.

Can you take this course?
You will need to have the competence of a native speaker in written and spoken English, and a tertiary level education. To be accepted on the course you are required to complet pre-course tasks and a group or telephone interview. It is important to note that this is a very demanding course that requires full-time commitment for the four week duration.

Places are extremely limited on these courses, so please ensure you submit your application in good time.
