Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA):
The Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) is an initial qualification for people with little or no previous English teaching experience and is awarded by Cambridge ESOL, part the University of Cambridge. You may be considering a career in English Language teaching and view CELTA as an entry into a good teaching position in another country, or you may want a qualification that provides a sound basis in the fundamentals of language teaching practice and gives you the confidence to take control in the classroom.
Who is the Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults (DELTA) for?
You may be a graduate, or already hold an initial teaching qualification, and are considering furthering your career in English Language Teaching. Delta modules are ideal if you wish to extend your professional experience and accept new responsibilities as they not only demonstrate a commitment to the profession, but also proof of your ability.
What is PTLLS (ESOL)?
PTLLS (ESOL) is a 6-credit award designed to provide teachers with initial preparation to teach English to Speakers of Other Languages in the Lifelong Learning Sector. Our PTLLS (ESOL) award is accredited by the OCR exam board. The PTLLS (ESOL) programme at the ELTC aims to give trainees a good base from which to progress on to further qualifications, volunteer or gain initial employment in the Lifelong Learning Sector.
