Cambridge CELTA: claims vs. register
How to read this page: the left column is what the provider says about itself. The right column is what an official register showed when we checked. We do not rate providers. A course not appearing on a register is not, by itself, evidence of anything - many courses are never submitted for regulation.
What the provider says
- Cambridge describes CELTA as the most widely recognised English teaching qualification and says over 63% of English language teaching jobs globally require it (Cambridge's own figure).
- Says CELTA is taken at authorised centres, face-to-face or online, with observed teaching practice.
