CELTA COURSE
ICC is the only location in Hawaii, and one of only 7 locations in the U.S., to be an authorized provider of the Cambridge University Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA). The CELTA is a full-time, 4-week (40 hours/week) introductory course for candidates who have little or no previous English language teaching experience. It may also be suitable for candidates with some experience but little previous training.
