Who is CELTA for?

People starting a career in English Language teaching:

You may be considering a career in English Language teaching and see CELTA as an entry into a good teaching position in The Netherlands, or you may be a graduate wanting a qualification that provides a sound basis in the fundamentals of language teaching practice and gives you the confidence to take control in the classroom.

People looking for a career change or a career break:

Increasingly, CELTA candidates are professionals either looking for a new career opportunity or wanting a short break in their existing career. Many seek the exciting opportunities of living and working abroad. Whether you wish to teach English for the short or long term, CELTA gives you the training you need to help you adjust to a dynamic and challenging new profession.

People teaching English without formal qualifications:

CELTA can also be a useful qualification for teachers who have little previous formal training. CELTA sharpens your teaching practice, confirms your ability, and may even lead to internal promotion or a better teaching job.

BLTC’s Teacher Training department has been running CELTA courses successfully since 1997.

The next CELTA course begins 2 July 2012
