No previous English language teaching experience is required to study for the CELTA qualification. Learners must be at least 18 and have a minimum English language level equivalent to CEFR level C1+/C2 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Unlike other CELTA training programs, it is not necessary to hold a degree to study with LSI/IH Portsmouth. We require students to hold an education level equivalent to that required for entry into higher education, for example A Levels, or similar.
