TESOL, TEFL and CELTA forum
CELT Athens is primarily a TEFL training centre dedicated to teacher development, the pursuit of excellence in foreign language education, and is committed to a policy of equal opportunities. It was founded in 1993 and is an established Teacher Education in Greece. To date, more that 2,500 Foreign Language teachers, directors of studies and administrators have attended courses at CELT and our trainees come not only from Greece, but from many other countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, S.Africa and more).
Situated in the heart of Athens, in the very centre of the capital of Greece, it is an excellent place to begin or enhance your career in TEFL as well as experience living in an exciting European city with so much to do in its present and see of its past.
