Testimonials:

I recently completed the CELTA course in Belgrade and would highly recommend it to anyone considering teacher training. One of the biggest advantages of this center is the early start provided before the official beginning of the course. We were invited to begin on the 25th of June, which gave us a valuable opportunity to get to know the students, the trainers, and the overall course structure in advance. This kind of preparation made a huge difference, especially when compared to another center I previously applied to, where no such support or orientation was offered.
Another standout feature of the Belgrade CELTA course is the guidance and support from the tutors. The course is taught by two trainers with very different approaches and perspectives, which allows for a richer learning experience and more flexibility in teaching styles. Their feedback on both teaching practice and written assignments was clear, practical, and easy to apply. All assignments were explained in advance, and the comments provided were constructive and easy to follow, which helped me grow in confidence and improve consistently throughout the course.
Overall, the CELTA in Belgrade is exceptionally well-organized and supportive. If you’re looking for a course that genuinely prepares you for the classroom with strong tutor support and a welcoming environment, I couldn’t recommend it more.

Arina Tsarenko, July 2025 Online CELTA

I hope I can find the correct words to deliver my gratitude. It was the best month of my life, but I cannot deny that it was also the most challenging one. I could have never imagined that a one-month training would change so many things in my life in so many aspects. Even though everything felt quite complicated at the beginning, and I felt as if I wouldn’t be able to finish it successfully, I look back now and see how much I have learnt within this month of this intensive program. I’ve met wonderful people, learnt about their culture and perspectives, and of course, I learnt how to teach, instead of lecturing. The whole experience means more than a certificate training for me; I developed many skills and I actually learnt how to use my time, and to take action according to my students’ needs. I am now able to look at things from a different point of view, and it is all thanks to you, my dear colleagues, and of course, those lovely students who were engaged in all the process and willing to learn English. 

CELTA became a remarkable part of my CV right away. I wouldn’t have imagined how respected or desired it was for international teaching. Everything that looked complicated at first became crystal clear by the end, but I still have much to learn, since learning is a never-ending journey in our lives. Thank you for being here and always willing to help. Thank you, my fellow teachers, for being supportive in this teamwork, as it would be meaningless without your presence and support, and thank you all the participants for your time, patience, and desire to learn. I hope we meet again in another country, another training, and another moment of laughter. 

Eda Kirmizi, July 2025 Online CELTA

Embarking on the CELTA course was truly transformative and life-changing. I had no teaching experience, only passion for language and a desire to grow. What I found was a very challenging but a very supportive, and deeply human experience that pushed me to become a better version of myself.
The tutors were rigorous, yet kind and supportive, and their feedback helped me improve every day. I learned, not only how to teach, but how to truly connect—with learners, with peers, and with the joy of guiding others.
It was intense, but also deeply rewarding. In the end, I didn’t just earn a certificate—I became a teacher, and I’ll be eternally grateful for that.
Sobodan Kotlica, July 2025 Online CELTA

Having taught in a school for some years, this fully online CELTA course was exactly what I needed to refresh, update and expand my teaching skills. Tutors Zorica and Dean were highly invested in all aspects of the course and quick to respond to any of my queries. Our group was held to high standards by our dedicated tutors.

Virginia Stancic, online CELTA 2024

The CELTA course is very intensive and challenging , but with all the support from our highly professional and incredibly knowledgeable tutors Zorica and Margaret , we managed todo it successfully and I have learned a lot from them! I met the best colleagues in the process. The staff was always friendly and helpful. We had all the facilities we needed. The students were really lovely! It was a great experience I’ve never forgot! My dear tutors and colleagues are in my heart for good!

Rychkova, face2face CELTA student, 29 Jul 2023

The course was quite challenging and energy-consuming, but also rewarding and, for me personally, life-changing. I had wanted to take the CELTA for such a long time, and was exhilarated to be given this opportunity. CELTA improved my teaching in terms of showing me how not to teach, and training me to become more student oriented. I am so grateful to our professional and devoted CELTA trainers for their support on our CELTA journey. I will wholeheartedly recommend the course to all of my colleagues.

Sonja  Đukić, November 2020 CELTA Online course

The course was a fantastic experience. I started with limited experience as a one-on-one tutor and end the course with a confidence about teaching I didn’t imagine I would have.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone in my life who was serious about teaching English. The more of yourself you can give the more you can get from this course, and I feel like I got a lot. Thank you very much.

Nikola Žegarac, November 2020 CELTA Online course

I went through a full-time, 100% online, 5 week CELTA course at ITT CELTA Belgrade & Syllabus centre, Serbia.
The CELTA instructors  at ITT Belgrade not only knew what they were doing but did their best to help the trainees. Thanks to their experience and support I passed the CELTA. Needless to say, I’m very pleased with my experience at ITT Belgrade and may well return for a DELTA next time.

You should apply using the online Application Form document on this page. The application procedure also includes an interview with the CELTA course tutor (which can be done by telephone or skype/on the Zoom platform) and a language awareness task.

You should also feel free to ask all the questions you might have about CELTA during and after your interview.

The candidates:
The candidates need to be at least 20 years old to take the course, although those aged 18 can be accepted if they meet all course entry requirements. The applicants for the course should have an awareness of language and competence in English, both written and spoken, that enables them to follow the course and complete the assignments and teach a range of levels (minimum C2-C1 level).

After you enroll on your CELTA course:

We have a very good CELTA preparation programme which will prepare you for all aspects of your CELTA course. Our trainees say that without it they would not have performed that well on the course.

You will also be guided on which books you would need to read. Feel free to use the books from our resource library.

If you feel you need to brush up your language awareness, we will advise you on the free Cambridge online language awareness courses you can do.

Why should I do the CELTA?

There are many choices when it comes to TEFL qualifications. They range in price and course content, whether they are delivered online or in person, and whether they are certified by an
official body. The CELTA is an established qualification, recognised globally and highly regarded across the TEFL industry. It will equip you with the essential requirements needed to land your
first TEFL job and offers opportunities to develop your skills later if you choose to advance your teaching career.

Taking the CELTA with International Teacher Training also means you can benefit from all the support and materials that we offer to our students. This extends to our alumni community too
when they become teachers.

Is the CELTA officially certified?
Yes, the CELTA is certified by Cambridge Assessment English and as a result is highly regarded
internationally and recognised by Ofqual at level 5 on the Qualifications and Credit Framework.

After CELTA

First good news is that you will have a teaching qualification which is ranked as number one by employers  worldwide.

Also, we will prepare you for your teaching life after CELTA as we have excellent professional development and career advice sessions during the course and will send you updated information on international  job prospects.

You can always rely on us to give you a reference which is essential when looking for a teaching position.

Although  CELTA qualification means that you can teach adults, in nearly all countries and schools it is a requirement  for teaching all age groups, including young learners.

Professional development

You will also get information on all conferences, workshops and webinars you can attend to continue with your professional development.

We will give you advice on other training courses you might like to attend in order to specialise or work as a Director of Studies.

You will become a member of our CELTA teachers group and will be able to exchange experience with our great CELTA teachers worldwide.
