IELTS is the examination that is preferred in New Zealand to show English language proficiency for study purposes. There are a number of IELTS test centres where you can sit the test in Auckland.

  New Zealand’s first CELTA centre We started delivering the Cambridge CELTA course at Languages International in 1988. Over 200 courses and 1700 graduates later, we still love helping people take their first steps in English language teaching – or add some new ELT skills to their teaching repertoire! Read on or get in touch with the team at Languages International to learn more. Cambridge CELTA courses in Auckland The Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is the most widely-recognized international qualification in English language teaching to adults. It is considered an initial qualification in this field, and the course leading to it is designed for people without previous teaching experience, as well as those who have had experience but could benefit from formal training. A Cambridge CELTA from Languages International will give you the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience to become a successful English language teacher to adults, both in New Zealand and overseas. Languages International offers the Cambridge CELTA at our school in Central Auckland, New Zealand. Why take CELTA with Languages International? We are the longest-established CELTA centre in New Zealand and have been running courses since 1988. Our teacher training team is the most experienced in New Zealand, with teaching and training experience in countries as various as Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, New Zealand, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey and the UK. All of our trainers are qualified to MA or honours level, and all have the higher-level Cambridge DELTA qualification. Most importantly, every single one of our CELTA tutors has taken the CELTA course (or equivalent) themselves, so we understand the pressures and the rewards and have the experience to support you throughout the course. We have trained over 1700 candidates on our CELTA courses, with around 96% of candidates achieving a Pass grade or higher. Our On-site Full-time CELTA Course, delivered over four intensive weeks, is the fastest way to gain the Cambridge CELTA and start working as an English language teacher. We have extensive experience delivering a range of teacher training courses including the higher-level Cambridge Delta as well as other teacher training programmes (TESOL and Cambridge TKT). The high tutor/trainee ratio (every course has at least two tutors, and there is one teaching practice tutor for every six trainees) ensures a high level of tutor contact and support. Who can apply to take the CELTA course? CELTA is an introductory course for applicants with little or no experience of teaching English to speakers of other languages. Sometimes candidates have some experience but little formal ELT training. All applicants must: be aged 18+. have an awareness of language and a competence in both written and spoken English to enable them to undertake the course and prepare for teaching a range of levels – at least high C1 or C2 (around IELTS 7.5 – 8.0). have a standard of education equivalent to that required for entry into higher education or university study. have the potential to develop the necessary skills to become effective teachers and to complete successfully the written assignments and the assessment of teaching practice. satisfy the centre that the course is suitable for their needs, in respect of their experience, background and career plans. Course Content & Assessment The CELTA course is highly practical, placing a considerable emphasis on candidates’ performance in observed teaching practice sessions. Candidates are also required to complete four short written assignments over the course. Please note that there is no final exam for this course; all assessment takes place within the course dates. All aspects of the course (teaching practice and written assignments) are internally and continuously assessed. Candidates’ course work is also externally moderated by an assessor who is approved and appointed by Cambridge. The final certificate is issued by Cambridge English Language Assessment. Costs and Finance For applications received 4 or more weeks before the course start date: $3,650 (2025); $3,900 (2026) For applications received less than 4 weeks before the course start date: $3,750 (2025); $4,000 (2026) The fees for CELTA courses reflect the high tutor-trainee ratio and the fact that the course requires international moderation and controls. CELTA courses are not usually eligible for student loans. All prospective applicants requiring information on loans or grants should request information from the appropriate authority.

  Cambridge DELTA Module 2 Languages International has not scheduled any DELTA Module 2 courses in 2025 or 2026 but we encourage you to get in touch if you’re interested. CELTA Authorised Exam Centre What is DELTA Module 2? Cambridge DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is an in-service teacher training course that provides professional development for experienced English language teachers. The course is a blend of theory and practice and consists of 3 separate modules: Module 1 focuses on the background to teaching and learning. Module 2 focuses on developing classroom practice. Module 3 focuses on a specialist option. Who can apply to take DELTA Module 2? DELTA Module 2 is suitable for in-service teachers of English who have had a minimum of 2 years full-time, post-CELTA experience teaching a variety of learner levels. Often, candidates tackle Module 2 after completing DELTA Module 1, but some candidates take Module 2 alongside a master’s programme or other professional development, or as a qualification in its own right. Candidates for Module 2 need to have access to a class of at least 5 learners they can teach face-to-face for the 5 teaching assignments. These classes can be in any relevant teaching context – adult, primary or secondary. Note that Module 1 can be completed 100% online with a live exam. Languages International is able to host candidates for the Module 1 exam; please contact the Director of Studies for more information. Course delivery This is a blended course. Inputs are delivered by Languages International’s Teacher Training team via an online meeting platform, such as Zoom. There is a significant self-study component. Tutorials are also conducted via an online meeting platform. You teach your own face-to-face classes, observed by the trainer either on-site or remotely via an online meeting platform. Candidates must be computer literate and have access to a fast, reliable internet connection. Course content Candidates need to complete 5 teaching assignments. Each teaching assignment involves a background essay on a specific topic, a 1-hour observed lesson, supported by a full lesson plan and materials, and a post-lesson reflection. After each assignment, there is a tutorial with the trainer. Over the course, candidates complete: 1 unassessed but observed diagnostic lesson. 3 internally-assessed lessons. These are observed and assessed by a Languages International trainer. 1 externally-assessed lesson. This is observed and assessed by a Cambridge-approved assessor. 1 professional development assignment. 10 hours’ observation of experienced teachers. These can be live or recorded.
