Teacher Education
The British Language Centre has successfully trained over 2600 teachers on Cambridge Certificate and Diploma courses in the last thirteen years. We are one of the larger ELT training centres outside of the UK and have built up an international reputation for professionalism. Typical feedback from trainees centres on the different challenges that are offered, but also emphasizes the enjoyable nature of the course.
Cambridge ESOL Courses - CELTA & DELTA
Cambridge ESOL Certificate in English Language Teaching - CELTA >>
An excellent course for teachers new to the profession
or for teachers with experience but no formal training. An essential entry
qualification to the profession.
'Having just completed the full-time CELTA course at BLC, I can’t
rate it highly enough. A working teacher from day 2 of the course, the
tutors leave no stone unturned in encouraging your development into the
confident, skilled TEFL teacher you know you can be. The programme couldn’t
be more thorough and the staff couldn’t be more supportive –
the rest is up to you! Enjoy the experience.' Rose Taylor, June 2005
'After 10 years of training courses, seminars
etc. I can honestly say that this course has been the most useful, relevant,
well-structured and motivating ! An excellent basis for anybody wanting
to go into teaching English.'
Victoria, September 2002
