- widely used as a benchmark of basic teaching skills and quality by English language schools, the voluntary sector, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), publishers and other educational institutions
- accredited by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) at Level 5 on the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
A flexible new route to CELTA
Cambridge CELTA Course Online is a flexible way to take CELTA. It gives you the training you need to be a successful English language teacher and opens the door to exciting teaching opportunities all over the world.
The course is produced by Cambridge ESOL in partnership with International House, London, and leads to the same internationally recognised certificate as the face-to-face CELTA course. It also gives equal emphasis to theory and practice.
Online self-study
You have the freedom to choose how you work. As long as assignments are completed on time and you contribute to discussion forums and live room discussions, the online format allows you to work at your own pace, when and where you choose. Your online course tutor will facilitate your group work and provide feedback on assignments and progress.
Hands-on teaching practice
CELTA’s success is based on its strong practical element, showing employers that you have the necessary skills to succeed in the classroom.
Cambridge CELTA Course Online uses exactly the same model of face-to-face supervised lesson planning, teaching practice, evaluation and feedback, with full support from your teaching practice tutors.
