Teacher Training
International House London has over 50 years of experience in training people to teach English as a foreign language. Today our Teacher Training department runs a wide range of English teaching certificates – including the CELTA and Delta qualifications – for people who want to teach second language English in both the UK and abroad.
We also train non-native English speakers to teach other European languages to adults. The IH Certificate in teaching languages to adults can be taken in preparation for teaching French , German , Italian or Spanish as a foreign language.
IH London is recognised by the British Council and Accreditation UK as a centre of teacher training excellence in English Language Training (ELT) and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TESOL).
Our CELTA teacher training qualification is validated by Cambridge ESOL, as is our Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults (Delta) . We also run refresher courses for English language teachers who want to update their skills.
You can watch our teachers and teacher trainers in action with our 15-disc Teacher Training DVD series . With lesson plans, worksheets and answer keys, it's a fantastic resource for English language teachers.
Just as students have different motivations for learning English, so too do trainees embarking on an IH London teacher training course. For me, a real pleasure of training is catering for student needs and helping people realise their goals. Duncan Mackenzie, Teacher Trainer, IH London

English Language Teaching Qualifications
Teaching English overseas or in the UK provides a huge sense of satisfaction as well as a host of transferable skills. A basic teaching qualification offers a great route into teaching English to speakers of other languages. One of the best qualifications for new teachers is the Cambridge ESOL CELTA.
