CELT-S (Secondary)
DECEMBER 2021 UPDATE: Cambridge Assessment English are withdrawing the CELT-P and CELT-S qualifications from the market, so there won’t be any future courses.
Who is the course for?
The CELT-S course is for teachers currently working in secondary education with learners aged 11-19 who would like to refresh and build their knowledge and skills. The course leads to a recognised qualification from Cambridge English.
With CELT-S, teachers can show that they:
- have developed their understanding of, and ability to respond to, the specific needs of secondary school learners
- have extended the range of approaches for developing their learners’ language skills
- have become more aware of ways to make effective use of resources to support learning in and beyond the classroom
Why should I choose CELT-S?
- It is ideal for teachers who speak English as a second language
- I can do the online tasks whenever I have time
- ‘Theory to practice’ assignments help me to apply what I have learned to my own classes
- I gain two Cambridge English certificates: CELT-S and TKT: Module 1
