Official Cambridge website for CELTA Qualification
The CELTA Qualification is the essential qualification for native English Teachers entering the English Language Teaching profession. The course does not assume any previous teaching experience. The scheme is administered by the University of Cambridge Examinations which ensures that the regulations and fundamental aims of the scheme are implemented. Anglo-Continental is an approved centre for CELTA courses.
The CELTA course covers the basic principles of teaching vocabulary, grammar, phonology, speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as how to correct students’ errors and how to manage the class. Of course, you will learn many other things, but these are the basic areas of language teaching.
Assessment
You are assessed continuously and your tutors will always tell you how you are doing. You do not take an examination. There are three components of the assessment:
- Written Assignments
To pass the course you must pass the written component. There are four assignments, totalling approximately 3000 words. They are spread over the course to ease the workload, and are in a variety of formats. If you fail an assignment, your tutor will give you guidance and you are allowed to re-submit it. - Teaching Practice
We hope to see you put into practice the things you have been shown in the methodology sessions. However, the course does not assume previous experience and we do not expect to see flawless lessons at the end of it! - Professional Development
You should remember that this is a professional qualification. Therefore you are expected to conduct yourself in a professional manner throughout the course.
Applying for the CELTA Course
There are currently no new start dates.
You should be at least 18 years old at the start of the course and have a level of education that would allow you to enter higher education.
