Customer Feedback
The CELTA course gave me an opportunity to develop and improve my teaching skills. I have learnt a lot of useful techniques which I definitely will apply in my practice as a teacher. I strongly recommend this course even to very experienced teachers.
-Dominika Szafranska-Lichwala-
The course really came up to my expectations. The tutors were well prepared and very helpful. I would recommend this Training Centre to everybody willing to do CELTA. The staff turned out to be professional and capable of assisting me whenever I needed any help.
-Peter-
A good course. It gives people who are new to the teaching profession the basic input and first practice in teaching English. To experienced teachers, especially those who feel tired or stuck in a rut, it offers a fresh look at and new enthusiasm for teaching. A very positive, refreshing experience.
-A. Gnoinska-Szeliga-
The course was very intensive but well worth the time and effort I put in it. Both the input sessions and teaching practice slots, followed by peer and tutor feedback, gave me a lot of insight into how young learners learn and what we as teachers can do to ensure optimal conditions for them to benefit from English lessons. I recommend it to all teachers with no or very little experience in teaching young learners.

Course Description
The CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is intended for those without previous experience in ELT and for teachers with some experience but no previous training in ELT.
Success in the CELTA has enabled many candidates to obtain their first teaching position and the course is highly regarded by employers as providing sound, initial training. It has a strong practical bias, with daily teaching practice. The CELTA is recognised internationally and over 7000 people take the course every year worldwide.
Admission requirements: The course is open to both native speakers of English and those whose first language is not English. In either case a high level of proficiency in written and spoken English is required. Candidates are usually university graduates. Participants must be at least 20 years old by the date of the start of the course.
Course Content: The course consists of 120 hours including input and tuition (demonstration and discussion of teaching techniques plus language awareness activities); daily teaching practice; observation of experienced teachers. Specific areas covered are:
Language analysis and awareness
The learner, the teacher and the teaching/learning context
Planning for effective teaching of adult learners
Classroom management and teaching skills for teaching English to adults
Resources and materials for teaching English to adults
Professional development for teachers of English to adults
Assessment: Teaching practice is assessed by the course tutors continuously. There are also four written assignments, with a practical orientation. Participants are required to keep a portfolio of their work throughout the course. Successful candidates will receive one of three grades: PASS, PASS "B" and PASS "A".

School Details - Katowice
The school is well-established, with a main school in Katowice and a branch in Opole. Dedicated to quality in all areas of operations, it has recently become an authorised Cambridge ESOL Exam Centre. It's long history and strong reputation means it is well-recognised in the local market. As well as being an affiliate of IHWO, the school has been granted two other quality accreditations: PASE (Polish Association for Quality in Language Education - www.pase.pl) and 'Kuratorium' (the Polish state institution for education). Rather than specialising in a particular area of English teaching, the school offers a wide variety of courses.
The school is located close to the city centre, and can offer comfortable classrooms, a teachers' room, a well-stocked resource area and all the expected facilities, including interactive whiteboards, WiFi and computer access available. There is also a comfortable lobby with a fire place, tea/cold drinks bufet and a library. A small patio garden is available in spring and summer.
