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 endeavour to provide support to trainees in finding a suitable teaching position, whether they choose to stay in Hungary or are interested in working somewhere abroad. There is an input session on the course that specifically addresses finding and keeping a job within TEFL. Information is given on the local teaching context, local schools, the best websites to consult when looking for work internationally, considerations when preparing for an interview and so on. The tutors will act as referees for you in your search for work after the course.
Our partner Budapest teacher training centre is happy to provide information about accommodation options in the Budapest area at the interview stage of the application process, but candidates are required to arrange their own accommodation. Through most options and providers, you are likely to be able to reach the school either on foot or via Budapest’s excellent public transport. As a piece of advice, look for flats through established providers, these should be equipped with wireless internet, a washing machine, and in many cases other appliances such as a microwave, dishwasher, etc. Budapest is a truly fantastic city and we hope you will enjoy your stay! The centre will also be able to advise you about places to visit.
You can organise your own housing using websites such as and .
Candidates who withdraw from the course after making payment will be reimbursed the course fee minus the deposit and bank (transfer) costs if they notify IH Budapest Teacher Training in writing (via email) more than three weeks before the course start date. After that time the course fee is non-refundable.
Budapest, capital of Hungary, is one of those places where people go for a month or two and find themselves still here years later. It seems to be due to a combination of factors—the gorgeous architecture; the stunning tableau of the Danube slicing the city into its two main parts of Buda and Pest; the vibrant night life and day life; the proximity of nature, via the Buda Hills; and the simple fact that Budapest is an exceedingly liveable, comfortable city where everyone seems to find a niche that suits them perfectly.
The course was amazing, I went in the course with the expectation of having really difficult assignments and doing different teaching practices but everyone was so nice and supportive. The tutors, Luca and Vanja were super helpful, productive and efficient. They were understanding and always open to help. The students are true to their levels and were so cooperative and encouraging in the lessons. The classmates are awesome, we help each other out to prepare for classes and assignments, I really appreciate the experience that IH Budapest had given me. Thank you so much for the knowledge and the opportunity to advance myself 🥰
So happy to have chosen IH Budapest for the online Celta course! I had the most rewarding learning experience of my life. Not only has it made me a different teacher, but definitely a different person. The tutors are most knowledgeable, experienced, helpful and supportive. I was amazed by the progress I made in such a short period of time. Cannot believe it’s over , will miss all the people I met there, what a wonderful team!!! I can safely say, that my Celta was not an appalling ordeal but rather a thrilling adventure!💫
I am very grateful to the organisers and tutors for such empowering experience. I feel I I can do much more now as a teacher. Thank you for tips and tricks that I am taking on board. I appreciate it that now I have a clear picture, system of lessons have to be like. I am so happy I did the CELTA in the IH Budapest. Plan to take another course with the International House.
