Which ELT certification is right for me?

Whether you choose EF's CELTA or CertTESOL programs, you can rest assured that your certification will be recognized and accepted by a majority of English language schools around the world. For those just getting started as ELT educators, CertTESOL is considered by the British Council to be an acceptable introductory TEFL teaching qualification. In contrast, the CELTA course gives you the essential skills and knowledge you need to teach English to adults and older teenagers.
