TESOL Certifications in Torbay | England

Beach lovers will be very happy with the location of the Torbay center as it is situated just a 10 minute walk from the water. Away from the beach you will also find many other ways to enjoy your free time including go-karting, a waterpark, cinemas, and dozens of cafes, bars and restaurants where you can unwind. In the wider area you can take a trip to any one of many popular towns and villages, such as the fishing port of Brixham, the popular tourist resort of Torquay, and the historic market town of Totnes.

The natural beauty of the south west of England is right on our doorstep, with miles of secluded beaches and quiet coves to explore and the wild expanse of Dartmoor just a short drive away. The major cities of Plymouth and Exeter are also close by if you feel the need for an urban fix during your stay.

Although Torbay is tucked away in the far south of the country, it is far from isolated due to its status as a thriving coastal resort. Buses and trains connect the area with all the major towns and cities across the U.K.

Frequently Asked Questions

˙
  • What is CELTA

    Expand white line

    Our most popular teacher training course is the Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) which is recognised all over the world. Thousands of people internationally choose CELTA each year to open up a whole world of exciting English language teaching opportunities. It can provide you with the skills, knowledge and hands-on practice to follow a rewarding career in teaching anywhere in the world. At the Torbay training center we will give you the support and guidance you need to help you to achieve this.
  • Does the CELTA certificate expire

    Expand white line

    No, it is valid for life.
  • Why take a CELTA course

    Expand white line

    As well as helping you to gain the skills and knowledge you will need as a TEFL teacher, there are other benefits; the CELTA certificate is one of the few qualifications that is recognised worldwide. It is accepted by all British Council and English UK recognised language schools in the UK and by most reputable organizations which employ English language teachers throughout the world, as well as by the voluntary sector (e.g. VSO). It is also a qualification accredited at level 5 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). It is also suitable for teachers who need an internationally recognised qualification.
  • Who can take the CELTA course

    Expand white line

    CELTA is designed for people with little or no previous teaching experience. It provides you with the basic skills, knowledge and techniques that you need to start teaching English, and aims to improve your confidence in the classroom.
    The CELTA course is perfect for people who are looking for a career change, who want to live and work in fascinating places around the world or who just want to teach whilst taking a gap year. CELTA can give you the training you need to adjust to a dynamic new profession.
    However if you do have experience, the course will give you new teaching methodologies and techniques. For teachers without a formal qualification, it means the opportunity to further develop your teaching skills and help you secure a better teaching position.
  • What are the entry requirements

    Expand white line

    · You must be at least 18 years old
    · You should have the minimum level of education required for entry into higher education (e.g. 2 A levels in the UK)
    · If English is not your first language, you need to have a minimum language level equivalent to C2 on the Common European Framework (e.g. IELTS 8, CPE C or CAE A)
    No previous teaching experience is needed, but you must have the potential to become an effective teacher and to complete assignments and assessments successfully. When we receive your application, we will invite you for an interview, preferably face to face. This will give you an opportunity to meet us and to see the school. It also gives us a good idea whether the fairly rigorous and demanding course is for you. To help us in assessing your potential and your language awareness, we will ask you to do a pre-interview task before you arrive and two short writing tasks on the day of the interview. In certain circumstances, we may be able to offer a Skype interview.
  • What does the CELTA course cover
