Summary

The Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is the most widely-recognized international qualification in English language teaching to adults. It is considered an initial qualification in this field, and the course leading to it is designed for people without previous teaching experience, as well as those who have had experience but could benefit from formal training. A Cambridge CELTA from Languages International will give you the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience to become a successful English language teacher to adults, both in New Zealand and overseas. 

  • Languages International is the longest-established CELTA centre in New Zealand and has been running courses since 1988.
  • We have trained over 1700 candidates on our CELTA courses, with around 96% of candidates achieving a Pass grade or higher.
  • Our On-site Full-time CELTA Course, delivered over four intensive weeks, is the fastest way to gain the Cambridge CELTA and start working as an English language teacher.

Entry criteria

CELTA is an introductory course for applicants with little or no experience of teaching English to speakers of other languages. Sometimes candidates have some experience but little formal ELT training. All applicants should:

  • be aged 18+.
  • have an awareness of language and a competence in both written and spoken English to enable them to undertake the course and prepare for teaching a range of levels – at least high C1 or C2 (around IELTS 7.5 – 8.0).
  • have a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education or university study.
  • have the potential to develop the necessary skills to become effective teachers and to complete successfully the written assignments and the assessment of teaching practice.
  • satisfy the centre that the course is suitable for their needs, in respect of their experience, background and career plans.
