IH London

International House London is running the CELTA fully online with full-time and part-time courses. You will be in a virtual classroom with your TEFL classmates in real time – it's not like taking a self-study online programme. You will have online teaching practice to develop useful skills that are not usually taught on the face-to-face CELTA and that are currently extremely vital in 2021.

If you'd prefer to apply for a face to face course, we look forward to welcoming you to our fantastic school soon!

IH London opened in 1959. We are the no.1 language school in Central London, judged by the latest British Council inspections and reported in the EL Gazette (2019). Every year we train over 500 new teachers and enable them to embark on exciting new journeys across the globe to inspire and teach others.

IH London was started by John and Brita Haycraft, the founders of IHWO, and its classrooms saw the very first CELTA courses back in the 1960s. The premises is very centrally located in Covent Garden. The centre is now a charitable trust, and is most well-known for English language courses and teacher training. We have, from our beginnings, been a leading contributor in the ELT field and we strive to continue to make a significant contribution to the international language education community.

CELTA online really helped me develop with many different skills. Your tutors are there for you and always use their support. It is important. I am glad I picked IH London for my CELTA. Chloe, Summer 2020

The course was great. I have learned so much over the four weeks on the course. I learned so many things about teaching that I had not previously known. I have learned invaluable skills that I hope I can use in the future. I enjoyed doing my course at International House London. The atmosphere is really great. It was a very nice place to be and the people were generally very friendly and helpful. Johanna
