Every CELTA center around the globe has gone through the same process to become authorized to run Cambridge CELTA courses. Every trainer has gone through an approval process and training with the University of Cambridge. The course syllabus and assessment criteria are the same at every CELTA center, and the amount of work you will have to do is the same.
Centers are given some freedom in how the course is organized and how the syllabus is taught - input sessions and the style of training may differ depending on the preferences of the tutors or the center. Some centers are more traditional in their approach, and others are more eclectic, drawing from a wide range of ESL methodology in order to give you a more rounded introduction to teaching. Our CELTA training center adopts the latter approach.
CELTA is a teaching award run by University of Cambridge ESOL, the division of the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate responsible for English Language / Teaching examinations. Our school in San Diego is accredited by the University of Cambridge's Local Examinations Syndicate to run CELTA courses. While centers all over the world run Cambridge University CELTA courses, there are only about a half-dozen in the United States, and only one run in San Diego.
