CELTA and TEFL Teacher Training Courses.

TESOL, the field of teaching English to speakers of other languages, is a growth industry. A qualification in TESOL will open up opportunities to live and work in the UK and abroad and meet people from many different backgrounds and cultures.

You will find teaching English can be challenging, rewarding and immensely enjoyable.

IPSA Consortium English Language Schools offer a wide variety of teacher training courses for both native and non-native speakers, including: CELTA, DELTA and International TEFL Certificate courses.

Whether you choose a CELTA, DELTA, TESOL or TEFL course, you should know that all these programs are internationally recognized, all prepare you for a teaching position overseas, and all are good for life. There are, however, several significant differences among them.

CELTA. The University of Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is the most widely recognized international teacher qualification. The CELTA is a standardized teacher preparation program, so no matter where you take the course, it is more or less the same. If you have a CELTA certificate, prospective employers know exactly what to expect in terms of your training. CELTA requires six hours teaching practice time, six hours of observation, four assignments, a pre-interview task, an interview in the application process, and a pre-course task once you are accepted.

TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) courses are also teacher preparation certificate programs, but they are not standardized. Therefore, when evaluating TEFL and TESOL courses, it's important to do your research.

First of all, you want to be sure that the institution is accredited and that this information is stated on your certificate. Another helpful check is to find out how long the institution has been in the language business. IPSA Consortium Language schools offering TEFL course have over 20 years of experience and and accredited by ACCET (Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training), a U.S. Department of Education-recognized agency.

DELTA. The CELTA and TEFL Certificates are introductory qualifications to the field of English language teaching. They are designed for those with little or no experience of English Language Teaching. After a few years' experience, teachers may be interested in going further in their ELT development - undertaking a DELTA diploma that can often enhance career possibilities.
