THE PROFESSION AND QUALIFICATIONS
| Q. I have just graduated from Nottingham university, UK, and I am interested in doing a part time CELTA course next year but I am slightly confused as to what the
difference between TEFL and CELTA is. I know what they stand for, is the main difference that CELTA is just teaching adults and a Cambridge designed
course?
A. The difference is that TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) is the profession and CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English Language to Adults) is one of many TEFL qualifications, not a course.
