About the teacher training centre
IH London opened in 1959. We are the no.1 language school in Central London, judged by the latest British Council inspections and reported in the EL Gazette (2019). Every year we train over 500 new teachers and enable them to embark on exciting new journeys across the globe to inspire and teach others.
IH London was started by John and Brita Haycraft, the founders of IHWO, and its classrooms saw the very first CELTA courses back in the 1960s. The premises is very centrally located in Covent Garden. The centre is now a charitable trust, and is most well-known for English language courses and teacher training. We have, from our beginnings, been a leading contributor in the ELT field and we strive to continue to make a significant contribution to the international language education community.
We were judged to be the no. 1 Language school in Central London in the 2019 British Council inspections. We are also the best value school in London (ranked by the industry publication EL Gazette).
We have always championed the best teaching. International House London was the birthplace of the first qualification for teaching English as a second language. This then became the CELTA qualification accredited by Cambridge English (part of the University of Cambridge) and is recognised throughout the world. Our expert trainers are our greatest asset. Leaders in the field of English language, many of whom are published authors, our trainers are devoted to their field. Regularly speaking at conferences and events around the world, you can trust the most experienced minds in the industry to help you further your own knowledge.

My advice is to always try and continue to learn and refresh / update your skills, be it technology, ideas or techniques. If you are lucky enough to be in a school that has teacher development sessions, opportunities to observe others and to try different contexts, take them. It makes for a more interesting career.
Learn from your students, involve them as much as you can and don’t be afraid to try different things.
Any of the Delta modules can be taken separately. Even if you have already completed a module with another school, you can study your remaining modules with IH London. Before your course starts you will be asked to complete Delta Preparation Tasks and readings.
