Employers around the world ask for CELTA. It’s the practical English language teaching qualification that gives you the essential knowledge, hands-on teaching experience and classroom confidence to qualify as a teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL).

CELTA is great for recent graduates, people who are changing career, or teachers who want to gain a formal qualification and may want to progress to qualifications such as Delta.

As well as allowing you to travel all over the world, English Language Teaching, or ELT, is a growing field that can provide a rewarding and exciting career path in English speaking countries.

Whether you are a recent graduate wanting to start your career, looking to teach English abroad in a gap year or during a career break, or somebody wanting a complete career change, this course will take you to the next stage in your life.

The Delta course is valuable for the following reasons: first, it helps you to develop as a teacher, by extending your knowledge and understanding of the principles behind your practice, and by increasing the range of your techniques and methods. Through feedback on your own teaching practice, we also help you to improve your teaching skills within the classroom. Second, it is an essential qualification if you wish to further your career into academic management, teacher training or materials writing.

The course is part-time and candidates are observed teaching their own classes in their own schools. For this reason, course participants must be involved in ELT teaching on a regular basis and ensure that for formal assessment purposes there are at least 5 students in the group.

The course is a challenging one and hard work! However, the vast majority of teachers who have taken it believe it has improved them as teachers as well as providing them with career opportunities. Delta-qualified teachers often go on to work in academic management, teacher training, materials writing and publishing.
