Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA)
The ISE Hove CELTA course provides English Language teacher training, leading to a Certificate in English language Teaching to Adults.
CELTA is ideal for people without previous teaching experience, who want to teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL).
CELTA provides further training for PGCE / Cert Ed teachers with no previous training in EFL.
CELTA is popular with overseas qualified teachers who want to update their methodology and learn about new teaching strategies.
The CELTA is the only independently moderated TEFL training certificate and therefore highly valued around the world. CELTA provides practical teaching experience, where trainees learn by doing.
ISE Online CELTA is designed for candidates all over the world, that wish to complete the CELTA programme in a fully online format.

Course Components
The CELTA is awarded on successful completion of the programme which includes:
- 4 Written Assignments
- Assessed Teaching Practice (Total of 6 hours)
- Observation of Qualified Teachers (6 hours minimum)
Course Content
The course covers five topic areas, as shown in the table below.
Programme delivery
CELTA courses are designed to deliver an integrated programme. They do not, therefore, deliver each topic area as a block of learning and most sessions in the programme will make reference to subject matter covered in more than one area. For example, a language analysis session may include language analysis for the teacher (Topic 2, Language analysis & awareness); problems particular learners may have with a language area (Topic 1, Learners & teachers and the teaching & learning context), and strategies for classroom teaching (Topic 4, Planning & resources and Topic 5, Developing teaching skills & professionalism).
Over the course candidates build up knowledge related to all the topics covered in the CELTA Syllabus while at the same time developing classroom skills.
Assessment
There are two modes of assessment:
i) written assignments which relate directly to one or more topics
ii) continuous assessment of teaching practice, which includes planning, teaching and self-evaluation.
The following table summarises how CELTA assessment relates to the five topics. Written assihgnment titles in italics.
