Whether you have already received your offer or just considering taking the CELTA – congrats on the major step in your career!
It is very easy to get anxious while making a decision that can change your life – we totally get it. No matter where you get your information, it is easy to get confused. This is why we’ve decided to bust the most popular myths about the CELTA to help you make your choice!
The CELTA course is only for native speakers. If English isn’t your first tongue, don’t even try!
While it is important to have a C1 level of English when making an application, it doesn’t matter if you are a native speaker or not. Some might even argue that the ‘native speaker’ term should be aborted in the field of teaching.
If you are worried about your grammar skills – IH London offers a free course on grammar for everyone who has been accepted to our CELTA course. The course will equip you with a foundation of English grammar so that you can start your CELTA with confidence!
If you have any questions about making an application, we advise you to attend one of our information sessions.
You won’t find a job after the CELTA if you don’t have a lot of experience.
Our course is created to elevate your career no matter how many years of teaching experience you have (or none at all). This is why we support our students even after graduation and make sure they continue their development. Every CELTA graduate gets 3 months access to the Teacher Portal for free where they can take courses, watch live webinars, download classroom resources and connect with teachers from all over the globe.
While finding a job depends on the trainee, we at IH London support them at every step. Here you can discover some career paths of our CELTA alumni. Some stories are truly fascinating!
The CELTA course is so intense, you won’t be able to keep up and have to forget about your personal life.
We get it, studying for the CELTA is not for the weak! However, with many options available, there is no need to take a face-to-face full-time course. If committing to full-time studying isn’t something you can do due to work or life commitments – no problem, there is a part-time CELTA for you. Don’t want to spend time and money on commuting, expensive accommodation or visas? No problem at all, we have an online option available as well. And don’t you worry, no matter what option you choose the quality of teaching stays the same.
