ESL Teacher Training Courses in Seville, Spain:

Cambridge University ESOL CELTA Certificate Courses:
CELTA (originally CTEFLA) is the most widely recognised initial qualification for those wishing to start a career in ELT (English Language Teaching) and the minimum required qualification for most serious ELT schools. 
CELTA is designed for those with no previous ELT experience, or those with some limited experience who feel the need for formal training, new ideas and an approved certificate. It is intended for native English speakers, or non-natives of near-native proficiency.

CELTA is a highly practical course which provides initial training in English language teaching to Adults. Successful CELTA candidates will gain a thorough basic grounding in all areas of modern ELT. It aims at laying a firm foundation on which a teacher can build with experience.

The course combines classroom methodology and grounding in language and learning issues with guided and assessed teaching practice. It presents a view of the principles underlying language teaching and deals extensively with the analysis of English from a learner's perspective.

CELTA courses in Seville are full-time 4-week intensive courses of approximately 126 hours, of a very 'hands on' nature, complying fully with the UCLES guidelines and syllabus. You will be teaching from day 2 of the course.

The CELTA demands a great deal of work, both during and after course hours, so you should not take on other work during this time.


CELTA Entry requirements:
Cambridge regulations state that candidates must:

- be at least 20 years old by the end of the course
- have the potential to develop the necessary skills to become effective teachers
- have a competence in English, both written and spoken, that enables them to follow the course and complete all the assessed elements successfully.
- There is no formal academic entry requirement for CELTA. However, the recommended minimum entry requirement is that candidates should have formal qualifications which would allow entry into higher education in their own country. Most candidates have a first degree.

Cambridge University ESOL DELTA Diploma Courses:
The Cambridge Diploma (DELTA) course is the most prestigious and widely recognised qualification in English Language Teaching. It is intended for candidates who have substantial experience of teaching English. The DELTA course programme has been designed in accordance with Cambridge ESOL syllabus guidelines: The following minimum requirements are an integral part of the course programme:

◦120 contact hours between candidates and course tutors.
◦150 hours of reading, research and assignment writing.
◦10 teaching hours of adult students for whom English is not a first language.
