International House Bangkok is an approved centre for the prestigious Cambridge teacher training CELTA qualification, the original “TEFL” course. Previously known as the CTEFLA, the CELTA is today offered at over 280 centres in 50 countries worldwide, and is taken by a total of 10,000 trainees each year. International House Bangkok presently offers the course in three locations- each with its own particular character; Bangkok , Chiang Mai and Phuket - so whether it's the city, the countryside or the beach that attracts you, we have just the location.
The International House World Organisation (IHWO) has been at the cutting edge of teacher training ever since its founders, John and Brita Haycraft, pioneered the very first classroom-based, practical training programmes in the 1950s. The IH network of 120 schools in 43 countries now trains over 3,000 teachers per year on the highly regarded CELTA and DELTA programmes. IH's founding philosophy and commitment to raising the standards of language teaching worldwide is the reason why our trainees receive not only the most widely recognized TEFL qualification there is, but also the benefits of training with the world's most recognized ELT training provider.
The Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA)
When the Director of Studies at your first teaching interview asks, “Have you got the CELTA?” you'll realize just how important it was to choose the profession's most accepted initial teacher training qualification.
The CELTA courses at IH Bangkok are intensive, 4-week courses intended for those who wish to enter the ELT profession but who have little or no previous teaching experience, or for teachers with some prior experience but no formal qualification in this field. Highly practical, with a content that is known and accepted throughout the industry, the CELTA course equips its trainees with the teaching skills to teach adults in a variety of teaching contexts.
The CELTA course includes teaching practice, observation of experienced teachers, and completion of a range of practically focused written assignments. The CELTA is awarded to candidates on successful completion of the course and assessment. There are no end of course exams; the pass grades A, B, and Pass being awarded as a result of continuous assessment by our trainers.
