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.

Buenos Aires is the most visited city in South America and a gateway top the rest of the continent. Famous for its pristinely preserved Spanish/European-style architecture and rich cultural life, it is often called the Paris of the South.
Strongly influenced by European culture, the city has the busiest live theatre industry in the world and holds the second largest number of cultural festivals worldwide, after Edinburgh, with events and centres for all tastes, including cinema, dance, cuisine, music, sports, fashion, etc.
Buenos Aires is also the home of the Teatro Colón, an internationally rated opera house and there are several symphony orchestras and choral societies based in the city.
The city has numerous museums related to history, fine arts, modern arts, decorative arts, popular arts, sacred art, arts and crafts, theatre and popular music, as well as the preserved homes of noted art collectors, writers, composers and artists. The city is home to hundreds of bookstores, public libraries and cultural associations (it is also sometimes called "the city of books"). It has a world-famous zoo and botanical garden, hundreds of landscaped parks and squares, as well as churches and places of worship of many denominations, many of which are architecturally noteworthy.
There are also many first division football teams playing every weekend in the city, and there is also a bikeshare scheme for cyclists and perfect sailing conditions of the Rio de la plata and in the Delta at Tigre.
Completing my CELTA here in June 2024 was one of my favourite and most memorable experiences of being in Latin America. Neil and Kate are incredibly experienced and knowledgable teachers, and also very kind and encouraging. When I started the course I had no idea how to teach and by the end of 5 weeks I felt confident and happy in the classroom. Everyone at the school is very welcoming and I felt right at home. Everything I learnt during this experience is helping me to be a great teacher in my career now. I'm very grateful!
Lovely experienced. I learnt a lot more than I expected. The tutors were really helpful during the course and they are great people.
The course was extremely well thought out and the tutors were very effective. However, I felt like they were somewhat unwilling to help struggling students and unnecessarily/inappropriately harsh at times.
