Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults
Teaching English to speakers of other languages is a highly rewarding career, offering you the chance to live and work abroad. You will need an internationally recognised teaching qualification, and CELTA - highly regarded throughout the world - gives you the skills you need and will make it easier to get a teaching job.
CELT Athens offers two types of attendance options leading to this well-known Cambridge qualification:
1. An intensive 4-week course
2. A part time course completed over 12 weeks
Course Content:
There are five main units of learning:
- Learners and teachers, and the teaching and learning context
- Language analysis and awareness
- Language skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing
- Planning and resources for different contexts
- Developing teaching skills and professionalism
The course includes seminars and workshops on the areas of the syllabus
as specified by Cambridge which can be downloaded
here*.
The list below includes the main topic areas but you can get a better idea by looking at a sample course timetable which we use for our 4-week courses here.
* The Cambridge Syllabus is in pdf format. Acrobat Reader can be downloaded from here.
Selection and Pre-testing
Selection of participants is determined through
-
a pre-course/pre-interview task which must be completed and sent in before the interview. This task aims to ensure that your language knowledge and skills are of a high enough level to be able to deal with the course successfully as well as to teach adult learners at a range of levels.
-
a personal interview with the Course Tutor. In cases where a face-to-face interview is not possible, it is acceptable to be interviewed over the phone, Skype, Google Talk or other voice messenger.
Both native and non-native speakers are accepted on the course and both are expected to have a level of education, language awareness and competence in English which will enable them to deal with all aspects of the assessment in a successful way.
Am I eligible to apply?
Ideally you should:
- have a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education
- be aged 18 or over
- have a standard of English which will enable you to teach a range of levels including advanced classes
You may still be accepted you if you do not have formal qualifications at this level but can demonstrate that you would be likely to complete the course successfully.
If you have read the information above and think you qualify, please complete an online application form which you can download by clicking here.

The Centre
CELT Athens is an Authorised
Cambridge Teaching Awards Centre for CELTA and DELTA and has been running
Cambridge Diploma level courses since 1993 (previous
versions of this Diploma were the
DTEFLA, for native speaker teachers of adults, & the DOTE, for non-native
speaking teachers). CELT supports trainee teachers in a variety of ways:
CELT Athens accepts a limited number of course participants, a maximum of 8 on any individual course, so a lot of personal attention and support is available to each trainee on the course, a free library membership, free photocopying of all Teaching practice material as well as Wi-fi access and access to PC's and the internet.
Teaching Practice Classes are organised at the centre and they are available throughout the programme.
