About CELTA

CELTA - Cambridge English Language Assessment's Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults is one of the world's foremost initial qualifications for people who wish to become professional teachers of English language. It is accepted throughout the world by organisations which employ English language teachers.

Cambridge English Language Assessment works with international ELT organisations to ensure the acceptance of Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) globally. According to Cambridge English Language Assessment more than 10,000 candidates complete a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) course each year.

The Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) course will be your passport into TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

ELT (English Language Teaching) was once commonly referred to as TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) but there was never a qualification known as TEFL.

The Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is the most widely accepted initial teaching qualification.

CELTA candidates come from all walks of life. Many are recent university graduates, but others are already qualified as teachers of other subjects or are professionals in other fields looking for a change of career or a career break.

Most candidates see CELTA as the starting point of a long-term career in English Language Teaching (ELT). CELTA is suitable for those who wish to work in the field of ELT either within or outside their own country. Some candidates may have a short-term motive for teaching English and enrol on a CELTA course to gain the confidence and skills to teach English professionally.

CELTA is also suitable for students working on gap year programmes which include teaching English to adults.

Applicants do not need to have English as their first language, but must have a standard of English which will enable them to teach at a range of levels.

There is now quite a well-established career structure within the field in the UK. As a newly qualified teacher, you might consider looking for a job which will provide you with support for two to three years then consider taking the next-level qualification DELTA (Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults). After this, you might think about moving into teacher support in the role of senior teacher. After gaining some more experience, many teachers go on to do an MA in ELT before moving into teacher training or ELT management.

The DELTA Course at CELT Athens is a transformative journey for any dedicated ESL educator. The curriculum is meticulously designed to challenge and expand one's pedagogical horizons. Each module delves deep into the intricacies of language teaching, offering practical insights that can be immediately applied in the classroom. The standout feature of the course is undoubtedly the caliber of the tutors, Marisa, Angelos and Paul. Their expertise is not just theoretical; it is drawn from years of hands-on experience. They are not merely instructors but mentors who foster a stimulating learning environment that encourages critical thinking and innovation. The support provided by the tutors is unparalleled. They are genuinely invested in the success of each participant, offering constructive feedback that pushes you to refine your teaching practice. Their approach is both rigorous and empathetic, creating a space where growth is both expected and nurtured. Completing the DELTA Course at CELT Athens left me with more than just a certificate; it equipped me with a robust set of skills, a deeper understanding of learner psychology, and a renewed passion for the art of teaching. It was an exceptional program that stood out for its quality and the profound impact it had on my professional development.

, DELTA All Modules student,

I completed the Delta with CELT. I felt fully supported and encouraged by knowledgeable, approachable and friendly tutors throughout the course input and each assessment stages. I was given detailed feedback at each stage which helped me to achieve (and supersede) my goals. The input sessions were well-organised and delivered to a high standard.

, DELTA All Modules student,

It is my pleasure and good luck that I did my course here at CELT. The tutors are nice and helping.

, DELTA All Modules student,
