The training center is part of a lively modern language school with an international atmosphere, with two centres in the heart of Seville, offering a wide variety of general language and specialist courses in English, Spanish, French, German and Chinese, as well as Teacher Training for English and Spanish teachers.

It is one of the longest-running and most successful Spanish language schools in Spain, and one of the largest English language teaching centres in Andalucia.

The Teacher Training center was approved by the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES) as a centre for Cambridge courses in 1998.

Facilities

There are a total of over 35 classrooms, video and lecture rooms, a multi-media study centre and library and a specialist language bookshop.

Candidates on Teacher Training courses will have full access to school facilities, including a well-stocked study room and library, a mini-library of EFL methodology books, free computer and internet access and free photocopying.

CELTA (originally CTEFLA) is the most widely recognised initial qualification for those wishing to start a career in ELT (English Language Teaching) and the minimum required qualification for most serious ELT schools. CELTA is designed for those with no previous ELT experience, or those with some limited experience who feel the need for formal training, new ideas and an approved certificate. It is intended for native English speakers, or non-natives of near-native proficiency.

CELTA is a highly practical course which provides initial training in English language teaching to Adults. Successful CELTA candidates will gain a thorough basic grounding in all areas of modern ELT. It aims at laying a firm foundation on which a teacher can build with experience. The course combines classroom methodology and grounding in language and learning issues with guided and assessed teaching practice. It presents a view of the principles underlying language teaching and deals extensively with the analysis of English from a learner's perspective.

CELTA courses in Seville are full-time 4-week intensive courses of approximately 126 hours, of a very 'hands on' nature, complying fully with the UCLES guidelines and syllabus. You will be teaching from day 2 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.
