A Cambridge CELTA is a world wide recognized certificate for the EFL/ESL teachers. It is highly valued because of its profound and challenging curriculum. In Canada most colleges, universities and language schools set a CELTA certificate as a minimum requirement for their ESL/EFL teachers. Apart from Global Village English Centers there are several other organizations and educational institutions that offer CELTA courses.
