Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA):

This is THE basic training course for teaching English to non-native speaking adults. If you want to teach English effectively, the CELTA qualification is a must. There are many jobs for English teachers with the CELTA qualification, especially (though not exclusively) overseas. Indeed, the ELC is regularly approached by language schools looking for recently-qualified teachers with the CELTA qualification.
