The CELTA course focuses on developing practical techniques, and every course includes teaching practice with real groups of students in real classroom situations, whether online or face-to-face.

CELTA is suitable both for those who are looking for their first teaching job or for those who are already teaching and are looking for a more widely recognised qualification.

1. Please complete this application form with your personal information and some questions about teaching and language. It's absolutely fine to research your answers online or in a grammar book or dictionary.
2. We will email you within 2 working days and invite you to a short interview on Zoom. You won't need to prepare anything for your interview. It's relatively informal, but it's important we only accept applicants who we believe can be successful on their course. As part of your interview, we'll also do a short timed writing task. 
3. Then we'll send you the result of your interview. At this stage, if you've been successful in your application for a CELTA course, we'll send you payment details so you can confirm your place on the course. ​

A CELTA is a passport to travel. CELTA graduates go on to teach English in all parts of the world, including Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe.

At the end of your course, we’ll have a careers session, during which we’ll give you guidance on how to find work in the world of English language teaching, both in the UK and abroad.

During and after your course, we’ll put you in touch with the English Path recruitment team who will fill you in on job opportunities at our schools in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, London, Malta, Dubai, Toronto and Dublin. At peak recruitment periods, some CELTA candidates may even be interviewed and receive job offers before their course has ended!
