WHAT IS CELTA?

 

What is CELTA?

The CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) course is the original 'TEFL' course. The CELTA provides initial training leading to a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults. It is intended for those without previous experience who wish to enter the profession and for teachers with no previous training in this field. Success in the Certificate has enabled many candidates to obtain their first teaching position: the course is highly regarded by employers as providing sound initial training and
a strong basis from which to develop as a teacher of English.
