Highlights

he Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) is the most widely recognized qualification for teaching ESL or EFL (TEFL/TESL). It has a very high reputation due to its challenging expectations and thorough curriculum. The CELTA Certificate is often considered a minimum requirement for employment as an English language teacher in language-teaching institutions in Montreal, in Canada, and abroad.

CELTA candidates train to become English language teachers to speakers of English as a second and/or foreign language. ILSC-Montreal welcomes CELTA applicants from all over the world and from a variety of backgrounds, with or without TEFL/TESL experience. The course is also helpful to those who are already in the profession but who have no formal TESL/TEFL qualification.

*** Please note that although it is not necessary for applicants to possess a Bachelor's degree to enter the CELTA program, many foreign countries and Canadian associations (such as TESL Canada) require university degrees from their ESL teachers.
