On a successful completion of a CELTA course, a candidate receives a CELTA certificate and often a report about his/her accomplishments and personal performance. Both documents are useful in finding future job places. The possibilities of future employment include:

• private language schools;
• colleges and universities;
• English international schools;
• CELTA trainers work at CELTA centers.

Private language schools are spread world wide. Both native and non-native speaker of English teach in such institutions. Some of the private schools may not require any formal qualification to teach English from native speaker. However, in Canada, TESL/TEFL to Adults teachers are expected to have a CELTA certificate and, often, a university degree. The demand for the qualified specialists in the field is immense both in Canada and overseas.

In Canada, most colleges and universities have ESL courses for foreign students who either came intentionally to study English or need to do it in order to get another professional qualification. Moreover, English departments of colleges and universities overseas usually invite one or several native-speaking teachers to conduct classes for local students.

International primary and secondary schools provide English classes for local non-English residents. Although not all of such schools will demand proper teacher’s qualification, some surely do, and for others it will be a benefit for the job applicant.

One more opportunity is to become a CELTA trainer. It is not as easy as finding a job abroad or at Canadian college teaching non-native speakers. To have a right to train other teachers of ESL/EFL you need to have sufficient teaching of ESL/EFL experience and go through a special exam, which will assess your theoretical and practical teaching knowledge and language awareness.
