| › | The CELTA is probably the most recognised initial teacher training course in the world and the International House Dublin CELTA course is the only CELTA course in Ireland which has been approved by the Irish Department of Education Advisory Council for English Language Schools (ACELS). SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES WHO HOLD FIRST DEGREES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR AN ACELS CERTIFICATE.
The difference between the CELTA and the “TEFL”, is that yes, the CELTA is a TEFL course but TEFL is an old-fashioned term, the newer one is an ELT course, or English language teaching. This is what CELTA means: Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults.
Each CELTA course run at IH Dublin is externally moderated by a University of Cambridge ESOL assessor. This guarantees a constant high standard and consistency of course content, trainers, facilities.

CELTA is intended for a range of candidates, including primarily:
candidates who are entirely new to teaching
candidates who have taught languages but with little or no previous training
candidates who have taught other subjects and wish to take up language teaching
CELTA may also be suitable for:
candidates who have received previous training in language teaching but feel the need for a refresher course or for a more practical qualification or for a more internationally recognised qualification. |
