The Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) is considered the gold standard teaching qualification.
CELTA is awarded by Cambridge Assessment English, part of the University of Cambridge and is a qualification for teaching English as a foreign language. It is the most widely recognised English teaching qualification in the world and the most often requested by employers.
It focuses on developing practical techniques and includes face-to-face or online teaching practice with groups of learners, which will give you the confidence you need to begin teaching in as little as four weeks.
Whether you're looking for your first teaching job, or you want to prove to employers that you have the required teaching skills with a recognised certificate, CELTA from Cambridge is the qualification you need.
