Who is the CELTA for?
The Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) is an introductory course for candidates who have little or no previous English language teaching experience, or for candidates with some experience but little previous training.
The CELTA course enables candidates to:
- learn about and become familiar with the principles of effective teaching
- acquire a range of practical skills for teaching English to adult learners
- demonstrate their ability to apply their learning in a real teaching context.
Candidates who complete the course successfully can begin working in a variety of Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL, TESOL) – also known as Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) – contexts around the world.
