International House Palma:
International House Palma is located in the centre of Palma de Mallorca, the capital of the Spanish Mediterranean island of Mallorca (Majorca). The school offers the Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) program, probably the most widely recognised qualification within the English language teaching (ELT) profession. The CELTA course is suitable for both those new to the profession and it can also act as a refresher course for those with some TEFL experience but with no formal training.
Our teacher trainers are qualified ELT professionals, with many years' classroom experience teaching EFL to all levels and in a variety of contexts. In order to become a CELTA tutor, Cambridge establishes rigorous selection and training procedures. Trainers are required to hold a Diploma in English Language Teaching (such as the DELTA) or an equivalent qualification, and have extensive teaching experience. Trainers are also required to have previously taught in-service training workshops and attended conferences, and must keep themselves abreast of developments in ELT by reading journals and other literature.
English Language Teacher Training Courses:
We offer 1 month intensive Cambridge CELTA courses, intensive Spanish courses, CELTA/Spanish combination course. Also English & German classes.
