What is the CELTA?

The CELTA is a TEFL qualification which prepares you to teach English as a foreign language. You don’t need any existing English language teaching experience or training. It’s usually a 4 or 5 week full time course (but you can also take it part time).

Standing up in front of a class for the first time is a daunting prospect, so you need to make sure you have the skills you need to teach effectively. The CELTA prepares you for the classroom in these ways:

  1. Taught sessions on methodology, lesson planning, language analysis and language skills. (In total, you’ll have 120 hours of input.)
  2. The opportunity to observe experienced teachers in a real-life language classroom situations – so you can see the different skills and techniques they use.
  3. Teaching yourself – with helpful and detailed feedback from your tutors.  This practical experience is invaluable when you start your first job.

You’ll have to complete some written assignments as well, but when it’s all successfully completed you’ll be ready for your first job and first students!

CELTA student testimonials

Thank you for such a wonderful experience – I’m so glad I did this course. I met some fantastic people and I’m ready to teach! A.S.

 

Sheila and I have been teaching non-stop since we got home from Belfast in mid-July. We actually often have more work than we want. We have taught at 3 schools since returning but are now mostly based at the EC School on Miami Beach. Every week we say how much we’ve used our CELTA training. The training IH Belfast gave us was truly great and we are glad we made the trek over to spend the month with all of you there. Thanks to everyone there for preparing us so well for the real world of ESL teaching. W.C and S.Q.

 

This is a really professional, well-run course and the amount of information imparted is amazing. All the IH staff were incredibly helpful and I found it great to know that I could ask anyone for help, from the wonderful office staff to the tutors and teachers – all very supportive. All in all, an inspirational four weeks. Thank you! E.B.
