Are you are thinking of starting a career or want a further qualification in English Language Teaching, the CELTA course with the British Council will be the ideal solution. At the end of the course you will obtain exactly the same, internationally-recognised qualification.
The mode of delivery (face to face or 100% Online) will depend on current sanitary circumstances and regulations.
CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is an internationally recognised English teaching qualification for people with little or no previous teaching experience. It is also very appropriate for experienced teachers who wish to broaden their pedagogical and online teaching skills. The CELTA is essential for anyone hoping to work for a reputable English language teaching institution, such as the British Council.
On the course you will acquire the language awareness, lesson planning, classroom management and online teaching skills needed to teach English to adult learners. Many of the skill will also be transferable to the teaching of younger learners.
The CELTA is awarded by Cambridge English Language Assessment, which is a part of the University of Cambridge.
