| Course summary | CELTA stands for Certificate in Teaching English Language Teaching to Adults. The CELTA itself was based on the IH Certificate in Teaching Languages, and is a pre-requisite for working at IH schools around the world.
CELTA is an introductory course for candidates with little or no previous English Language teaching experience. It is also suitable for candidates with some experience but little previous training. As a qualification that is recognised around the world, it gives you the skills you need and opens up a whole world of exciting teaching opportunities.
CELTA tutors are all accredited by the University of Cambridge ESOL Teaching Awards. They are all very experienced English teachers, and IH tutors have typically worked in a variety of settings and locations. All our tutors are committed to teacher development and have an active, ongoing interest in this field. |
