Is your aim to make teaching English a long term career? If yes, and you’re happy to dedicate one month of classroom tuition then CELTA would be a smart investment.

The intensive training will prepare you to step into any classroom worldwide. CELTA also gives students the required qualification to teach English in native English speaking countries as well as abroad.

? Curveball alert! CELTA equivalents…

There also exists special certifications recognized as CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL equivalents, like Premier TEFL’s 168 hour Ofqual regulated Level 5 TEFL course, which includes 11 study modules to ensure you’re a fully qualified English teacher.

The benefit of doing a 168 hour Ofqual regulated TEFL course instead of a CELTA or Trinity CertTESOL course is that it tends to be cheaper and can be completed solely online.
