CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Speakers of Other Languages) is an initial teacher training qualification for teaching English as a second or foreign language (ESL and EFL). It is provided by Cambridge English Language Assessment through authorised Cambridge English Teaching Qualification centres and can be taken either full-time or part-time. CELTA was developed to be suitable both for those interested in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and for Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL). CELTA is designed for candidates with little or no previous English language teaching (ELT) experience. It is also taken by candidates with some teaching experience who have received little practical teacher training; or who wish to gain internationally recognised qualification. Candidates should have English language skills equivalent to at least C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) or an IELTS score of 7.5. CELTA gives equal emphasis to theory and practice. The strong practical element demonstrates to employers that successful candidates have the skills to succeed in the classroom.〔http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams-and-qualifications/celta/ways-to-take-celta Accessed 22 April 2015〕 Courses can be taken full-time or part-time and either face-to-face or online. A full-time, face-to-face course typically lasts between four to five weeks. CELTA is a continuous assessment course (i.e. participants are assessed throughout the course) leading to a certificate qualification.〔CELTA Webinar, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reJE1B-5ifY&feature=youtu.be, Accessed 22 April 2015〕 Candidates who successfully complete the course can start working in a variety of English language teaching contexts around the world.〔http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/images/21816-celta-syllbus.pdf Accessed 22 April 2015〕 CELTA is regulated at Level 5 of the Qualifications and Credit Framework for England, Wales and N. Ireland and is suitable for teachers at Foundation and Developing level on the Cambridge English Teaching Framework.〔http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/images/165723-teacher-mapping-document.pdf Accessed 22 April 2015〕 ==History== A certificate course for the teaching of English as a foreign language (TEFL) originated in International House (IH) in the 1960s and was run from the 1970s until 1988 by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA). In 1988, Cambridge English Language Assessment (then known as the University of Cambridge Local Exam Syndicate (UCLES)) reached an agreement with the RSA to take over the running of training courses for teachers of English as a foreign language (TEFL). The qualification was amended in response to perceived needs, leading to the launch in September 1988 of the CTEFLA (the Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Adults). By 1996, the CTEFLA became the RSA/Cambridge CELTA and in 2001 it was known simply as Cambridge CELTA. In 2011, Cambridge English Language Assessment and IH London co-operated to launch a jointly produced online blended CELTA course: CELTA Online.〔Hawkey, R. & Milanovic, M.
