spartacusman Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hello. I'm contemplating taking a CELTA course. I'm having extreme trouble finding out the history of this certificate. Perhaps a poster can shed some light on it for me. How long has it been around? Did it replace another now obsolete certificate? Are all the certificates issued from Britian?

PeaceBlondie Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Fair game, so far. Let us just keep in mind this rule for the teaching forum "7. You may discuss and ask questions about TEFL courses and course providers, but TEFL course comparison threads are considered flamebait and will be closely watched and probably closed."

oldtimer Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 CELTA is the new name (10 years old?) for the University of Cambridge Local Examinsations Syndicate / Royal Society of Arts Certificate in TEFLA. This course was the shortened version of the UCLES/RSA Diploma (which is now known as DELTA). The UCLES/RSA Diploma used to be known as Certificate in TEFL(A). I remember that my RSA Dip supervisor did not have a Diploma because when he took the course (around 40 years ago?) it was known as a Certificate. I'm sure that someone else knows more or are willing to surf the Net and give you more info.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
