CELTA – Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults

About The Course

CELTA – the Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults – focuses on teaching and learning strategies for EFL/ESOL and is mainly practical. In addition to your taught sessions, you will need to allow extra time for independent study, assignments and lesson preparation.

The course is an intensive programme of study to which you will be required to fully commit. This is a very practical course with a focus on hands-on teaching practise so that upon completion, you will feel confident beginning or continuing your career as an ESOL teacher with all the skills and knowledge you will need. Many of our students have even gone on to become teachers on the ESOL courses we offer at CONEL.
