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
