CELTA Taiwan

Yes. CELTA is designed for new teachers entering the field, but it is equally valuable for experienced teachers seeking to enhance their methodology and gain an internationally recognized qualification. At CenYing, mixed cohorts of new and experienced educators work together, sharing insights and receiving differentiated guidance. New teachers gain structure and confidence, while experienced teachers refine lesson delivery and student engagement strategies through peer collaboration and targeted feedback from tutors.

No. CELTA welcomes both native and non-native English speakers who can demonstrate a high level of English (CEFR C1 or IELTS 7.0 equivalent). CenYing provides a highly supportive environment for non-native English speakers, including additional pronunciation and language awareness workshops when needed. Our bilingual setting in Taiwan helps trainees understand learners’ challenges firsthand, which becomes a strength in their future teaching practice.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a level of education suitable for higher study, and possess advanced English proficiency. No teaching experience is required. CenYing’s application process includes a pre-course language awareness task and an interview with a Cambridge-approved tutor. Candidates receive personalized feedback and preparation tips to ensure they begin the course with clear expectations and confidence.

CenYing offers two options: a full-time four-week course (Monday–Friday, 9:00–17:30) and a ten-week part-time course (weekends and evenings). Both provide the same Cambridge qualification with identical input hours and teaching practice requirements. Our training centre’s modern facilities, flexible schedule options, and convenient Keelung–Taipei location make attendance manageable for both local and commuting trainees.

The course blends daily input sessions on language awareness and teaching techniques with six hours of assessed teaching practice. Trainees also complete four short written assignments and observe experienced teachers. At CenYing, a typical day includes morning teaching practice with adult learners, midday feedback sessions, and afternoon input workshops. Working with genuine Taiwanese learners offers trainees valuable experience in bilingual education contexts and practical classroom management.

CELTA is demanding and requires full commitment. Full-time trainees should not plan other work during the course. The part-time format allows limited flexibility but still requires consistent weekly preparation and evening study time. At CenYing, tutors help manage workload through daily planning sessions, reflection logs, and optional support hours to discuss lesson design or assignments. The program is challenging, but the strong guidance and peer encouragement make it a deeply rewarding experience.

Assessment is continuous through observed teaching and written assignments. Tutors provide regular feedback and support to help trainees meet Cambridge standards. CenYing maintains Cambridge’s rigorous quality while fostering a supportive assessment culture. Trainees receive mid-course tutorials to discuss progress, and written assignments may be resubmitted with tutor guidance if initial criteria are not met. Globally, the pass rate is over 99%, and almost all dedicated trainees succeed.

Yes. CenYing provides information and assistance with local accommodation options for trainees traveling from other cities or countries. We partner with nearby serviced apartments, student guesthouses, and budget hotels near Keelung Station. Our administrative team helps coordinate safe, comfortable, and affordable housing so you can focus on your course.

Yes. CELTA is recognized globally and valued by employers including the British Council, international language schools, and bilingual programs. It signals practical competence and Cambridge quality.
