Our course is definitely recognised; our centre has been certified by the University of Cambridge and an independent assessor from the University visits and evaluates each course. Google 'Cambridge School CELTA' for more information.

What's the difference between TEFL & CELTA?

[CambridgeSchoolVO]

@brunocoriolano 'TEFL' is in fact this acronym stands for 'Teaching English as a Foreign Language' so it isn't in itself a qualification. Any school can set up their own TEFL course. The important thing to check before you sign up for a 'TEFL' course is which official body awards the certificate and if the certificate is internationally recognised. The CELTA is awarded by the University of Cambridge . The CELTA is the qualification that employers ask for most frequently.

I heard that Celta is the best. I really need this certification. Should i just go to the Cambrigde University Website?

@monilove5 The CELTA is definitely the god standard qualification for English teachers. You can do the course at our school (google 'Cambridge School CELTA) or in other centres worldwide (Google 'Cambridge ESOL CELTA')

good video. What about a course for teaching children as well? the skills required are different.

@TheBfwal1 The young learner equivalent of the CELTA is called the CELTYL. Search for Cambridge ESOL CELTYL for more information.
