School Description

ILSC Montreal is Quebec's only CELTA provider and we have been offering the CELTA program for over 15 years. Our fulltime trainers are dedicated to providing quality teacher training and to preparing you for an exciting new career is teaching English.

Help with Employment

Many of our CELTA graduates find work at ILSC-Montreal or at other ILSC schools in Canada, Australia and India. We are also contacted by other language schools both locally and abroad who are looking for qualified teachers and pass that information onto our graduates. We provide references when requested by prospective employers.

Accommodation

We have many CELTA students who come from outside Montreal to take the program with us. Most find their own short-term accommodation through services such as Airbnb. Montreal's accommodation is a lot cheaper than other North American cities, particularly if you're coming from the US - the exchange rate is very favorable!

These are short term rentals that CELTA students have used as well:
Evo
Trylon Apartments
Campus1

We can also assist with homestay, though this is more suitable for language students than for CELTA students who will need a bit more quiet due to the intensity of the course.
