The Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching (CELTA) is the most widely recognised pre-service ELT qualification in Australia and throughout the world. The CELTA is the most well known and recognised TESOL certificate and the vast majority of employers in this industry ask for a CELTA certificate. It is externally validated and overseen by Cambridge University.
If you wish to gain further qualifications and develop a career in ESL, the CELTA is a pathway to the Masters in TESOL at the University of Melbourne or the Cambridge DELTA course.
We all know that the world has changed since early 2020. CELTA has changed too and is now approved by Cambridge to be undertaken completely online. The online CELTA can be taken from anywhere in the world and engages participants in a practical hands-on experience dealing with real students online. Future employment of teachers will definitely require the ability to teach online.
At MTI we use Zoom as the platform and provide support and guidance in how to use this technology, alongside the training in English language teaching.
The online CELTA is popular with trainees as they can attend the course from all over Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, Indonesia and even South Africa.
CELTA provides training for people with little or no previous experience, as well as development for teachers with a lot of experience. The focus is on the practical skills and through live classes with real students, participants develop competence in communicative language teaching as well as an understanding of current teaching methodologies.The course aims to increase candidates’ language awareness and knowledge of how English works.
