The CELTA is the Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages

It is the most widely recognised and respected initial teacher training course that one can do in the world.  Accredited by Cambridge Language Assessment, this course gives candidates the confidence and skills to teach students English as a foreign language.  It is open for those with no teaching experience as well as those with some teaching experience who want to upgrade their certification

On our CELTA Courses in Dublin our experienced tutors will deliver daily sessions that focus on teaching skills before you apply them in teaching practice. These sessions are done in such a manner as to engage trainees in an interactive and enjoyable way. These will give you the knowledge and techniques to teach both online and offline. You will learn how to prepare for and plan lessons and preparation time is timetabled every day. Each trainee needs to teach 8 times over the course. You must complete 6 hours of Teaching Practice, 6 hours of observations and 4 written assignments. 100% attendance is expected for input sessions and Teaching Practice.

What you need to know:

  • To apply, you must be at least 18 years of age,
  • Hold a university degree or have a standard of education equivalent to being able to enter university.
  • Non-native speakers need to have a high C1 / C2 level.
  • This is a full-time course (Monday to Friday, 9am until 5pm), with participants required to attend all morning input sessions and afternoons. If you need any time off during the course, you should mention it during your interview.
  • You must teach on eight occasions (6 hours) and these teaching practices take place in the afternoon from 2pm until 4pm (with feedback being done afterward).  Trainees usually teach twice a week during this time. Every day, we also have a period set aside for teaching practice preparation, which is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
  • On average, trainees may spend 25-30 hours per week outside of the course timetable.  This time is spent preparing for lessons and completing assignments. Some trainees may be put off by the intensive nature of the course, but the course schedule is designed to help you manage the workload and your tutors are always there for guidance and help.
