Can anybody train to become a trainer for Cambridge Teaching Awards?
No, there are entry requirements for those interested in becoming trainers on Cambridge-approved teacher-training courses. Potential CELTA trainers are required to: • have the Cambridge ESOL DELTA or equivalent ELT qualification at Diploma level (MAs in ELT with a strong practical focus may also be acceptable provided the following two conditions are also met) • have substantial, recent and varied ELT experience • be able to demonstrate professional involvement in ELT. Please note that it is important that the trainers you propose have sufficient and current experience of teaching English to speakers of other languages. CELTA trainers have to be familiar with the kinds of classes that trainees will teach and the materials trainees will be using. You may have tutors who have very good academic qualifications but they may not be ideal for CELTA training purposes. CELTA is classroom based and trainers need to be able to bring a practical focus to their teacher training. CVs for all propos
