CELT-P
Primary school teachers can develop their classroom skills and teaching confidence with CELT-P. It’s a practical English teaching qualification that gives teachers the relevant skills to get the best from 6–12 year-old learners.
The course helps teachers to create strategies for the key challenges of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), such as developing learners’ listening and speaking abilities in large classes.
Teachers build on their teaching knowledge and skills, through a combination of online study and observed teaching practice with an approved trainer.
