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.

We have local connections to help CELTA graduates find jobs in Cambodia. We also recruit from the CELTA and successful candidates, who meet our qualification requirements, are invited to interview for jobs in our school in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. (Recruitment is based on the schools needs at the time of application).

We also have a partnership with ACET, who have schools in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

They offer our successful candidates a 50% discount on the cost of the CELTA if they sign a 12-month contract within a month of completing the course.

The offer depends on Job availability and a successful job interview.

The money will be refunded in two halves – after the 6th payment of the year, and at the end of the 12-month contract.

All course fees/deposits are non-refundable. Should candidates find themselves unable to continue the course, they may transfer to a future course, but this is always at the discretion of ACE Cambodia and depending on available places, and this must also be within six months following the end of the original course. If your course is cancelled, we will either fully refund all deposits/payments or arrange for you to sign up for the next suitable course. You must also be fully aware that there is a chance that trainees can fail the course, and if this happens, all deposits/payments are non-refundable.

We offer the CELTA course in both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, which are two of the biggest cities in Cambodia.

Siem Reap is now one of the most popular tourism destinations in the world. It provides easy access to Angkor Wat, regarded as the eighth wonder of the world, and many other breath-taking temples, exceptional museums, traditional villages, and natural spaces. Siem Reap is known as the epicenter of Cambodia and has more hotels than Angkorian temples, first-class wining and dining and luxurious spas in which to relax after a long day.

Phnom Penh is the dynamic and bustling capital city of Cambodia. It has some of the best historical and touristic sites in the country as well as a big city vibe in a small space. The city provides plenty of activities and insights into Khmer culture, which also makes it one of the most desirable destinations in South East Asia.
