Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA)

CELTA will provide you with an initial qualification to teach English to speakers of other languages. You can study full or part-time.

The CELTA course is combined with PTLLS (Preparation to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector). This qualification confers a 'threshold to teach' which is a requirement for new teachers in adult education. You will gain two qualifications in the same amount of time.

If you need any information contact Tasveer Shemza (course co-ordinator) for an appointment or Margaret Furness (administrator).

Increase your chance of success with our eight hour Grammar Course

The Cambridge CELTA course requires trainees to be able to breakdown grammatical concepts and analyse different areas in order to effectively plan their teaching sessions. This is something that many trainees find challenging.

Sussex Downs College have designed a short course specifically to address this area. It provides a general introduction to the different tenses used in English, then demonstrates how to breakdown the grammar and analyse the relevant aspects.

There is, of course, time to practise and work through examples so that trainees feel more confident when they are asked to do this on the CELTA course.

Dates	Duration	Fees
Monday 6 AND and Wednesday 8 February 2012 9.30am to 3pm	8 Hours in total	£85
Monday 25 AND and Wednesday 27 June 2012 9.30am to 3pm	8 Hours in total	£85

Celebrations for our CELTA students

Students studying on the CELTA course at Sussex Downs College, Eastbourne had a double celebration as not only had the entire class passed the course but they also had a refund on their course fees.

Back in September when they enrolled, adult funding had been withdrawn by central government, however during December the college learnt that students would be given a refund of £200 to all and £1000 for those on benefits.
