The school was fine. The trainers were FIRST RATE - they did an outstanding job. The input sessions were a high point for me. Entertaining, challenging and intellectually stimulating all at the same time.

Course Description

The Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) is the pre-eminent English language teaching (ELT/TEFL/TESOL) qualification in the world. It is administered by Cambridge University to initiate people into the field, or to up-skill those who are already working in it. It is the most widely recognised qualification of its kind with over 12,000 people completing it each year at over 300 approved centres world-wide.

The course includes teaching practice, observation of experienced teachers in the classroom and completion of a range of practically focused written assignments.

The CELTA is awarded to candidates who have completed the course and the assessment successfully. There are no examinations at the end of the course. The pass grades A, B, and Pass are awarded as a result of continuous assessment by our tutors. Trainees are always kept informed of their progress during the course.

This is a highly practical course providing initial training in English language teaching to adults. It aims at laying a firm foundation on which you can build your experience.

Through a series of seminars and practical demonstrations you will develop your practical awareness of
- Learners
- Language
- Materials
And practical ability in
- Classroom management
- Lesson planning
- Introduction and practice of new language
- Developing the skills of reading, listening, speaking and writing

Teaching practice is a major component of the course and takes place every afternoon on intensive courses. The programme is closely related to the work done during the seminar sessions. You will work as part of a small group of five or six trainee teachers to obtain practical experience in working with classes at different levels. Liaising with each other, you will produce a series of cohesive lessons. After each teaching practice session, the lessons are discussed with the tutor.

Observation of practising teachers is an intrinsic part of the course and takes place outside class hours, as does guided observation of videoed lessons and preparation for teaching practice.


Accommodation Options

The school can offer you a discounted rate at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel right next door to the school.
