WHO CAN APPLY

People starting a career in English Language teaching: You may be considering a career in English Language teaching and view CELTA as an entry into a good teaching position in another country, or you may be a graduate wanting a qualification that provides a sound basis in the fundamentals of language teaching practice and gives you the confidence to take control in the classroom.

People looking for a career change or career break: Increasingly, CELTA candidates are professionals either looking for a new career opportunity or wanting a short break in their existing career. Many seek the exciting opportunities of living and working abroad. Whether you wish to teach English for the short or long term, CELTA gives you the training you need to help you adjust to a dynamic and challenging new profession.

People teaching English without formal qualifications: CELTA can also be a useful qualification for teachers who have little previous formal training. CELTA sharpens your teaching practice, confirms your ability, and may even lead to internal promotion or a better teaching job.

People who want to work in Further, Adult and Community Education in England and Wales: CELTA is also Module One of a two-module course leading to the following qualifications:

Selection of participants is determined through

1/ A pre-interview task which must be completed and sent in before the interview. This task aims to ensure that your language knowledge and skills are of a high enough level to be able to deal with the course as well as to teach adult learners at a range of levels.

2/ A personal interview with the Course Tutor. In cases where a face-to-face interview is not possible, it is acceptable to be interviewed over the phone or via messenger.

Non-native speaker participants should hold a recognised Certificate of Proficiency in English. Both native and non-native speakers are expected to have a level of education and competence in English which will enable them to deal with all aspects of the assessment in a successful way.

The pre-course task can be sent to candidates by fax, e-mail or can be taken on the web.
