The University of Cambridge CELTA course is the most recognized introductory teacher education qualification in both the UK, Ireland and internationally. The course is aimed at people with varying levels of experience, from those with little or no experience to those wishing to do a refresher course.
The CELTA certificate entitles its holder to teach English to non-native speakers, both in the UK, Ireland and abroad. It gives you an insight into the professional life of a functioning school and puts you in direct contact with students abroad. For more information, please visit www.cambridgeenglish.org . This certification is now a benchmark for employment in the quality EFL sector in the UK, Ireland and abroad. CES has been providing teacher training courses since 2004.
Each course is led by a Cambridge English accredited external evaluator to ensure the highest possible standards are maintained.

Similar to the part-time course, there are 4 assignments to complete and 6 hours of observation.
