Teaching English as a foreign language is an exciting and rewarding career, but to get the best out of it you need to choose your teacher training course well.

Today, in the jungle of ‘Tefl’ certificates there are 2 that definitely stand out – at least among UK qualifications ….

  • the Cambridge CELTA and
  • Trinity College CertTESOL.

These are the two English language teaching certificates that are recognised by the British Council in accredited UK language schools and British Council English schools around the world.

Both qualifications are accredited by the UK official Qualifications Authority (QCA).

  • A CELTA or TRINITY qualification will give you the basic skills and knowledge you need for your first post as a teacher.
  • It will also provide the foundation to develop as a professional.
  • It will guarantee that you will have a qualification to teach English as a foreign language which schools around the world will recognise.
