About this course

CELTA Level 5 TEFL Course in Richmond upon Thames. Classes run at Parkshot, two days a week, from 9:30am to 4:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The course runs over 10 weeks. You'll study the core principles of language teaching and develop practical skills for teaching English to adult learners. Units cover language analysis, language awareness, and all four skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. You'll also complete observed teaching practice. To enrol, you'll need to complete an application form, a pre-interview task, and a successful interview.

You'll finish with a Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) at Level 5.
