Why Stafford House?
Stafford House offers a rigorous CELTA training programme taught at our London school, that will provide you with the practical tools you will need to find success in the field of teaching ESL/EFL. Our small trainee group sizes and close attention to the needs of our students will ensure that you receive the personal attention and support needed to meet the challenges of the course.
Our experienced teacher trainers are knowledgeable, passionate and dedicated to giving our CELTA candidates the best training available. The Stafford House CELTA has been designed to ensure our candidates access a quality curriculum for the duration of the course.

Stafford House London
The Stafford House London school is situated in Bloomsbury, just a couple of minutes’ walk from Holborn Station or Tottenham Court Road Station in “mid-town”. We are close to the British Museum and other major attractions and shopping areas so it is a perfect place to begin your CELTA adventure.
CELTA Jobs
We provide guidance on finding jobs and the broad range of career opportunities and specialisations that exist within ELT. In addition, Stafford House International teachers English at 3 year round locations and 14 summer locations across the UK, and Canada. At Stafford House we recruit strong candidates directly from our CELTA courses to work in our junior summer centres and our year round schools. Once you’re part of the Stafford House family, there are numerous career paths for English language teachers.
PART TIME OR FULL TIME ONLINE AND IN-SCHOOL CELTAS
Our programmes vary and can be as flexible as you need to reach your CELTA goals. We want our trainees to feel confident when they select a Stafford House programme that it will be the right fit for them.
All Stafford House online and in-school programmes offer the same CELTA certification. In-school programmes take place at our London school in Bloomsbury. Our online programme takes place 100% online, including teaching practice, and uses the Zoom platform and the Moodle learning environment.
If you want to finish your CELTA quickly with daily classes and shorter length programme, studying full-time is right for you. We offer a full-time programme that is taught either online or in-school. Each programme is 4 weeks long and a minimum of 120 hours.
Both online and in-school courses run Monday to Friday 9:30 - 17:30 UK time, with study breaks.
