Your passport to teaching overseas

The Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults, or CELTA, is a qualification for native (or near native) English speakers looking to teach English as a foreign language. The certificate is specifically designed for those with little or no previous teaching experience, and because it is awarded by Cambridge ESOL, CELTA is one of the few internationally recognised teaching qualifications.
