CELTA courses at International House Seville are full-time 4-week intensive courses of approximately 120 hours, of a very 'hands on' nature, complying fully with the UCLES guidelines and syllabus. You will be teaching from first day of the course.
The CELTA demands a great deal of work, both during and after course hours, so you should not take on other work during this time.
Assessment of the Cambridge CELTA course is continuous.
Progress in practical teaching ability is of the greatest importance, but all aspects of performance and work done on the course are taken into consideration for the final grading, including the candidate's written work, professionalism, and suitability as a future member of staff in an ELT context.
Candidates are constantly informed of their progress during the course by written commentary and oral feedback on their teaching practice and written assignments, and by tutorial. This may be formulated in terms of passing and failing.
Candidates who successfully complete the CELTA course will receive the Cambridge Certificate. The grades possible are Pass A, Pass B, Pass, or "No Certificate Awarded". In addition, International House Teacher Training Centres issue a graded certificate-report. This report describes the candidate's performance in some detail and serves as a vital document to prospective employers.
International House Seville Teacher Training and International House cannot enter into either discussion or correspondence concerning results or assessments. Should a candidate wish to lodge any form of complaint, the appropriate channels for doing so will be indicated to them.
Entry Requirements
There is no formal academic entry requirement for Cambridge CELTA course.
However, the recommended minimum entry requirement is that candidates should have formal qualifications which would allow entry into higher.
Cambridge regulations state that candidates must:
• Be at least 20 years old by the end of the course
• Have the potential to develop the necessary skills to become effective teachers
• Have a competence in English, both written and spoken, that enables them to follow the course and complete all the assessed elements successfully
CELTA Selection Procedure
Selection of candidates is based on the completion of the application form, pre-interview tasks and an interview, see enrolment section.
Interviews are conducted at International House Seville, via Skype, or by telephone.
Acceptance on the course is by no means automatic: a rigorous selection process is undertaken in the interest of candidates in order to ensure their suitability and a high degree of success on the course.
Acceptance is at the discretion of the centre. For further information contact:

After your CELTA
It has been estimated that more than one thousand million people in the world today speak, or are learning to speak English.
The range of locations and situations in which English language teachers are in demand is enormous. During your course you will be given general information and guidance on where and how to apply for jobs.
Working with International House
The Human Resources department in IH London recruits more than 350 teachers and about 25 senior staff each year to work in IH affiliated schools.
These schools, all of which are independently owned, are linked by standards of educational excellence and common terms and conditions governing the employment of teachers.
IH is perhaps unique in the world of ELT in offering an international career structure to its staff. Most contracts with IH schools are for one year.
Salaries are locally appropriate and usually payable in the local currency. Return air-fare, paid holidays and assistance with accommodation are offered on most one year (or longer) contracts outside the UK.
For employment as a teacher in an IH school you must at least have successfully completed the Cambridge Certificate (CELTA), or an equivalent course. Other qualifications, such as a degree, may be necessary according to the legal requirements of a particular country. Further qualifications and experience may be demanded for specific jobs. For higher posts in ELT and ELT management, the DELTA is usually required.

Accommodation Sevilla
Total independence with a touch of class
Entirely furnished and fully-equipped apartments in Seville’s centre (about an 8 minute walk from clic) with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room.
The historic mansion Santa Ana (which previously housed clic) is situated on a peaceful street and has been completely renovated and modernised, with an elevator installed. We have integrated architectural elements from the original building (ceramic tiles, floor tiles, etc) as a “nostalgic reminder” to blend with the contemporary style. The apartments are luminous, bright, tastefully furnished and have air-conditioning, heating, TV and an oven. The communal roof terrace and patios offer a pleasant environment for relaxing outdoors. Wireless internet is also available throughout the building (at reasonable prices). Calle Santa Ana’s surroundings have changed a lot over the last few years. The Alameda de Hercules is a large promenade for outdoor leisure, surrounded by cafes, bars and restaurants. It’s one of the fashionable areas for going out. Many of the historic houses around the Alameda have been renovated so as to return to their previous splendour.
