CELTA is the most highly regarded and widely recognised initial qualification for English language teachers. The CELTA is accredited by Cambridge English Language Assessment, part of the University of Cambridge.
CELTA candidates should be at least 18 years of age and have a native speaker level of English. As a rough guide, non-native speakers of English should have level C1 (advanced), which is equivalent to an A grade at CAE or IELTS level 7.5.
All our Full-Time CELTA courses are very intensive. They run for four weeks from Monday to Friday, from 09:15 to 18:00 hrs. The course is continuously assessed through practice lesson observation and written assignments to hand in.
Places are often assigned weeks in advance so I would encourage you to apply soon to avoid disappointment.

Step 1: To apply, please complete the attached CELTA Application form. As part of the application, you will be required to write a 300-word essay in your own handwriting on why you want to do this course and what you want to do afterwards as well as completing the Application Language Task.
Step 2: Return your application by email (including the Application Form and the Application Language Task).
Step 3: If your application form and essay are both completed to the required standard, we will contact you to arrange an interview with the Academic Team. The interview can take place face-to-face, by telephone/ Zoom
