In-service Certificate in English Language Teaching (ICELT)
ICELT is ideal if you already teach English in a specific context. This qualification can help you to deepen your knowledge and develop your ability to reflect on and improve your teaching. Your level of English should be at least level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages but ICELT is also suitable for native speakers of English. ICELT is a new qualification, developed to replace the Certificate for Overseas Teachers of English (COTE).

ICELT is divided into two modules. You can take module one as a stand-alone module or progress to module two to achieve the full ICELT qualification.
- Module One: Language for teachers (assessment component 1); you will complete four to six tasks designed to improve your use of English for teaching purposes. The number of tasks depends on whether you are taking module one only or in combination with module two.
- Module Two: Teaching (assessment component 2) and methodology (Assessment component 3); You will complete four classroom-related written assignments.
