Advanced English for Teachers (C1) Course
This course is designed to develop participants’ language proficiency and awareness in preparation for future teacher training courses such as the CELTA.
Why this course?
A Game-Changing Concept
Designed for future CELTA candidates​
Beyond a typical C1 course
Combines advanced language development with practical teaching skills and language awareness.
Strong focus on language analysis
Develops the ability to analyze language in terms of form, meaning, and pronunciation.
Targeted error correction and accuracy work
Improves overall proficiency
Practical teaching support
Includes guidance on explaining language, giving instructions, and managing classroom interaction.
Regular speaking and writing practice

Students who are considering applying for the CELTA course will have the option of participating in a mock CELTA interview conducted by a CELTA Tutor.
- The mock interview will mirror the actual CELTA interview process and provide candidates with an authentic interview experience.
- If a student is successful in the mock interview and is accepted, they will not need to repeat the interview when they apply for the CELTA course
- If a student is not yet successful, they will receive personalized feedback and a tailored action plan outlining the areas they need to improve.
