CELTA Training (part time)
CELTA training (part time) is a qualification for people learning to teach English for the first time, or for people with previous teaching experience but no formal qualification. It is sometimes referred to as a TESOL certificate, TEFL teaching certificate, or ELT course.
CELTA training teaches you the principles of classroom management and teaching communication skills. You will learn how to teach English as a second language through hands-on teaching practise, regular written assignments, and ongoing assessment by your trainer. Part time CELTA teacher training is ideal for people who can’t study during the working week.
Course overview
- CELTA training (part time) runs for 12 weeks (minimum 120 hours). You can study on Monday and Wednesday evenings OR Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6.30-9.30pm, plus six Saturdays from 10am-5pm.
- The CELTA certificate has two components of assessment: teaching practise (a total of six hours to at least two different levels), and four written assignments. To be awarded the certificate you must pass both components.
- There are three pass grades: ‘Pass’, ‘Pass B’ and ‘Pass A’. As assessment is continuous, you will be given regular feedback on your progress.
- The maximum class size is 15 candidates.
- Applicants should be over 18 and competent when writing or speaking English.
- CELTA is accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) at Level 4 on the National Qualifications Framework.

Our Teacher Profiles
Since its creation, International House has been a pioneering force in the field of teacher training, offering the first qualification for Teachers of English as a Foreign Language during a time when the industry was just developing.
International House London now trains hundreds of new and experienced language teachers every year, finding employment for many of them in the affiliated schools abroad.
Special Courses for Overseas Teachers
For teachers whose first language is not English, we’ve developed a range of special teacher training courses, designed to develop language and teaching skills. Our IH Certificate in TESOL, created specially for overseas teachers, is run along similar lines as the CELTA with workshops, seminars and teaching practice.
How We Teach
At International House London, we focus on communication and speaking, with student to student interaction being used rather than a more traditional lecturing approach. This makes our English and Modern Language courses both exciting and rewarding, with progress being made very quickly.
