CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is an initial teacher training qualification for teaching English as a second or foreign language (ESL and EFL). It is provided by Cambridge English Language Assessment through authorised Cambridge English Teaching Qualification centres and can be taken either full-time or part-time. CELTA was developed to be suitable both for those interested in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and for Teaching English to the Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

CELTA is designed for candidates with little or no previous English language teaching (ELT) experience. It is also taken by candidates with some teaching experience who have received little practical teacher training or who wish to gain internationally recognised qualification. Candidates should have English language skills equivalent to at least C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) or an IELTS score of 7.5.

CELTA gives equal emphasis to theory and practice. The strong practical element demonstrates to employers that successful candidates have the skills to succeed in the classroom. Courses can be taken full-time or part-time and either face-to-face or online. A full-time, face-to-face course typically lasts between four and five weeks. CELTA is a continuous assessment course (i.e. participants are assessed throughout the course) leading to a certificate qualification.

Candidates who successfully complete the course can start working in a variety of English language teaching contexts around the world. CELTA is regulated at Level 5 of the Qualifications and Credit Framework for England, Wales and N. Ireland and is suitable for teachers at Foundation and Developing level on the Cambridge English Teaching Framework.

History

A certificate course for the teaching of English as a foreign language (TEFL) originated in International House London in 1962 and was run from the 1970s until 1988 by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA).

In 1988, Cambridge English Language Assessment (then known as the University of Cambridge Local Exam Syndicate (UCLES)) reached an agreement with the RSA to take over the running of training courses for teachers of English as a foreign language (TEFL).

The qualification was amended in response to perceived needs, leading to the launch in September 1988 of the CTEFLA (the Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults). By 1996, the CTEFLA became the RSA/Cambridge CELTA and in 2001 it was known simply as Cambridge CELTA.

In 2011, Cambridge English Language Assessment and IH London co-operated to launch a jointly produced online blended CELTA course: CELTA Online.

CELTA for teachers of adult learners

CELTA focuses on teaching adult learners, but many of the skills and techniques apply to teaching young learners as well. Candidates who plan to teach mainly young learners can take the Young Learner (YL) Extension to CELTA, after completing CELTA.

Course admissions

CELTA is suitable for candidates who are beginning their career and experienced teachers who have received little practical teacher training or who wish to gain an international certification of their ELT skills. Teachers who already have an initial teacher training qualification, and who have at least one year's English Language Teaching experience, may be more suited to another qualification such as Delta. CELTA is suitable for teachers at Foundation and Developing level on the Cambridge English Teaching Framework, whereas Delta is designed for teachers at Proficient and Expert levels of the framework.

CELTA applicants are required to have English language skills equivalent to at least level C1 of the CEFR - a standard of English which enables the teaching and understanding of language issues at a range of levels, from beginner to upper-intermediate students.

CELTA applicants should be over the age of 18 and ideally have a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education (e.g. high school diploma or A-Levels). Applicants without formal qualifications may be accepted if they can demonstrate that they are likely to complete the course successfully.

Applicants are asked to complete a written task. The task will focus on language awareness and consideration of issues related to teaching English. If the written task demonstrates an appropriate level of English and the potential to develop the skills needed to pass the course, the applicant will be invited to an interview.

The nature of the interview varies from centre to centre. It may be an individual interview or a group interview, and may be conducted face-to-face, on the telephone or on Skype. The interview is an opportunity for centres to provide information to candidates, as well as to assess candidates' potential to successfully complete the course (i.e. candidates will be asked to show how they think about language and learning/teaching English).

Course delivery format

CELTA courses can be taken full-time or part-time and either face-to-face or online (NB: the Teaching Practice component of the course must be conducted in a face-to-face environment). All versions of CELTA give equal emphasis to theory and practice (candidates generally spend half their time learning theory and half their time doing teaching practice). All versions of CELTA lead to the same internationally recognised certificate.

Full-time courses, conducted face-to-face in an authorised teaching qualification centre, last four to five weeks (depending on the centre). Part-time courses, conducted face-to-face in an authorised teaching qualification centre, last anything from a few months up to a year.

A directory of global Cambridge English teaching qualification centres and their contact details can be accessed on the Cambridge English Language Assessment website.

CELTA online

CELTA Online is provided by Cambridge English Language Assessment in partnership with International House, London. It provides a flexible manner of obtaining CELTA by combining online self-study with face-to-face teaching practice. The online materials can be accessed at any time allowing students to plan their course work around other professional / personal commitments.

The online course is conducted over a minimum of ten weeks and maximum of an academic year. Each online course has a minimum of three and a maximum of 24 candidates.

The online self-study units have interactive materials, tasks and discussion forums. Candidates work independently or collaboratively on these tasks with support, evaluation and comment from an online tutor. The teaching practice elements of the course take place at an authorised teaching qualification centre with face-to-face contact. Candidates teach for a total of six hours (spread over a minimum of eight occasions) with peers observing.

Young Learner (YL) Extension to CELTA (Discontinued)

The Young Learner (YL) Extension to CELTA was aimed at teachers who had gained the CELTA certificate and wished to build on the content of CELTA to teach young learners (i.e. children and teenagers). The YL Extension to CELTA was normally taught full-time over the course of two weeks.

However, registration for the YL extension was phased out in December 2016. Instead, Cambridge English recommends taking the "TKT: Young Learners" module as an alternative to the YL extension.

Assessment and results

CELTA does not have a final exam. It is a continuous assessment course (i.e. participants are assessed throughout the course), which leads to a certificate. An external assessor, appointed by Cambridge English Language Assessment, moderates each course.

Candidates are required to attend their course and fulfil the following course requirements:

  • Teach classes of the relevant age group and size, for a total of six hours over at least eight occasions. Candidates will teach classes at two levels of ability (one of which will be lower than intermediate and the other at intermediate level or higher).
  • Observe experienced teachers teaching classes of language for a total of six hours (three of which may be via video link), as well as observing other candidates in the practice group
  • Submit a portfolio of coursework, including:
    • Materials related to teaching practice
    • Four written assignments (NB: two assignments can be conflated into one larger assignment if all the assessment criteria are met).

The CELTA certificate is awarded to candidates who meet the course requirements and whose performance meets, or exceeds, the criteria in the two assessment components:

  • Teaching Practice (TP) - 6 hours
  • Written Assignments - 4 assignments.

Each centre designs their own written assignments. Assignment should be between 750-1,000 words and should consist of:

  • One assignment focused on the learner and learning contexts
  • One assignment focused on an aspect of the English language system
  • One assignment focused on an aspect of language skills
  • One assignment focused on classroom teaching and the identification of action points.

There are three passing grades: Pass (Grade A), Pass (Grade B), and Pass.

Candidates who fail to meet criteria in any or all assessed components will receive a Fail. The application and interview process is intentionally rigorous to ensure candidates have the potential to pass the course and the failure rate is therefore not high. Candidates who fail will receive a letter confirming the result and an end of course report which states their areas of achievement and areas for further development. In order to pass, candidates will need to re-take the course and meet all the criteria.
