DurationOverview
English teachers are in demand across the world. This qualification will give you the confidence and teaching techniques you need to start your cultural and linguistic adventures.
Our 12-week part-time and 4-week full-time CELTA courses provide you with a practical, work-related qualification which is a first step in learning to teach English as a foreign language to adults.
Why Celta?
Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is an internationally recognised teaching certificate. There are CELTA centres world-wide, all running a similar programme and all moderated by Cambridge English Language Assessment, which is part of The University of Cambridge.
Entry requirements
Candidates should normally have, as a minimum entry requirement, a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education. For non-native speakers of English, applicants should demonstrate a high level of both written and spoken English such as an IELTS score of 6.5 or level C2 on the CEFR.
Many candidates who come on courses have experience of teaching or training in other or related fields and some have a little, usually informal, experience of teaching foreign students. The certificate should enable you to find employment in private language schools and some state institutions either in the UK or overseas.
If English is not your first language you require an IELTS overall score of 6.5 with no element below 6.0.
Please note that all applicants will be interviewed as part of the selection process.

How you’ll learn
Who is the course for?
The course is aimed at anyone with the above requirements who has an interest in language and communication and would like a career in teaching English language to speakers of other languages.
Many of our trainees immediately start their teaching careers either at language schools in the UK or at schools/institutions around the world. After having gained some classroom experience, some of our trainees have returned to Christ Church to study for the Diploma/MA in TESOL.
What will I study?
The CELTA course offers practical seminars which teach you "how to teach", for example, how to teach and practise grammar and vocabulary or how to teach the skill of listening.
The students also have opportunities to practise and reflect on what they learn:
Teaching Practice. You need to teach foreign students at two different levels of English language proficiency over the course. Your teaching is assessed by a tutor and is the most important assessed element of the course.
Observations of practising teachers and video observations of teachers and classes.
Written Assignments which are practical and very much based on the observation, teaching and learning you do on the course.
Tutorials in which your strengths and areas for development are discussed. You will be given clear guidelines for improving your performance.
Keeping a Portfolio of your work over the course.
Teaching
For the part-time course, you will attend seminars and workshops for up to two mornings per week and also one afternoon for teaching practice.
For the full-time four-week course, you will attend seminars and workshops for the whole day.
According to Cambridge guidelines, there are 120 contact hours, which are for the following:
Input seminars/workshops
Supervised lesson planning
Tutorial support and consultation
Six hours’ assessed teaching practice
Feedback on teaching practice
Peer observation of teaching practice
Six hours’ directed observation of lessons taught by experience English language teaching professionals
Mission and values
Inspired by our Church of England foundation, the University’s mission is to pursue excellence in higher education: transforming individuals, creating knowledge, enriching communities, and building a sustainable future.
We value:
the development of the whole person, respecting and nurturing the inherent dignity and potential of each individual
the integration of excellent teaching, research, and knowledge exchange
the power of higher education to enrich individuals, communities, and nations
our friendly, inclusive, and professional community of students and staff, preparing individuals to contribute to a just and sustainable future.
Church of England foundation
With our original campus built upon land that formed the outer precincts of St Augustine’s Abbey (founded in about 602AD), within clear view of Canterbury’s majestic and world-renowned cathedral, Canterbury Christ Church University was literally grounded in the church.
Today our connection to the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion is as important to our identity as ever.
Now as a University comprising three campuses across Kent and Medway, the meaning of our Church Foundation extends beyond history alone to encompass ethos, values, and practice. It underpins the welcome we offer to all, regardless of faith or belief.
The ethic of service to the public good, which coloured our small beginnings as a teacher training college, continues to inform the diverse syllabus that characterises our contemporary life.
It has also determined the shape of our geographical footprint as we have sought to enhance accessibility to Higher Education for some of Kent’s most disadvantaged communities.
For us, even at a time when the cost of education is rising sharply, while a degree must represent value for money, it cannot be measured in financial terms alone. ‘The truth shall set you free’- so runs our University motto taken from John’s Gospel. Free for what?
Education at its heart concerns learning for life, not just in the sense that its worth endures, but because what enhances life - for oneself, for one’s community, for our fragile earth – is learning’s ultimate quest.
