CELT-S

UPDATE:

Stay tuned for information on future courses.

Who is the course for?

 

The CELT-S course is for teachers currently working in secondary education with learners aged 11-18 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’s 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.
