International House Bogota:
International House Bogota provides quality CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) courses for those who wish to start a career as an English language teacher in Colombia or abroad. The CELTA course is highly regarded by employers as providing sound initial training and a strong basis from which to develop as a teacher of English.
The CELTA course is the original "TEFL" course and is intended for those without previous experience who wish to enter the profession and for teachers with no previous training in this field. Our courses are full-time over four weeks and have a minimum of 120 contact hours, plus a further 120 hours+ for required outside of class time tasks, including assignments and lesson planning. Teaching practice is an integral part of the course. Sessions are held Monday to Friday between 11.00am and 7.00pm including teaching practice.
The CELTA course in Bogotá is run in conjunction with our sister school in Barcelona (Spain), International House Barcelona, one of the largest ELT training centres in Europe.
With a population of around 8 million, Bogota is located in the centre of Colombia. It is divided into a number of different areas, including the historic centre 'La Candelaria', the downtown business district and several modern and prosperous suburbs.
