CELTA

CELTA -  Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults - is an initial teaching qualification for people with a good level of knowledge of the English language and little or no previous teaching experience. It is awarded by Cambridge ESOL, part of the University of Cambridge.

 

CELTA is a course and a certificate in initial teacher training. It is internationally recognised and can also be a useful qualification for teachers who have little previous formal training. CELTA also sharpens your teaching practice, confirms your ability, and may even lead to internal promotion or a better teaching job. Please note: In order to participate in the course, Cambridge ESOL requires that candidates hold the CAE (unless you are a native speaker).
