About this program

Earn the internationally recognised CELTA qualification while based in Cork, through a programme operated from CES Dublin. This Cambridge-validated course follows the same rigorous curriculum as the Dublin-based CELTA — input sessions, observed teaching practice and structured feedback — adapted for delivery in Cork. The result is a globally portable teaching qualification without the need to relocate to the capital. Entry is competitive and requires a pre-interview task. Full-time intensive format with fixed start dates throughout the year.
