1. Links to FREE online preparation courses from Cambridge English
The CELTA with International House is accredited through Cambridge English, meaning you can brush up on your skills and prepare for the course using their tailored online preparation courses: Introduction to the CELTA, Introduction to language teaching and learning, and Introduction to language awareness.
2. The IH Ultimate Guide to CELTA Teaching Practice E-book
We realise the thought of teaching practice on the CELTA can be daunting. This e-book gives advice from recent IH alumni on not getting stressed, how to prepare, how to deal with your tutors - and how to deal with the students.

3. Phonemic Chart
It's useful to have a phonemic chart in your teaching files. You may find yourself in a classroom where there isn’t one on the wall, and you can take out and use in any situation.
Your colleagues may be jealous - we don't mind if you print out and give them one too!
4. The Trained by IH e-book
We asked our experienced teaching and academic management staff from around the IH network for their advice for newly qualified staff. This is the result!

5. Jobs help
We can’t guarantee you a job but graduates from IH schools are definitely looked at favourably in the ELT jobs market. If you apply to another IH school, be sure you mention your tutors in your interview, and ask them to be a referee - your interviewer may know them.
We also recruit for IH schools year round, so bookmark our jobs page for when you are looking to take the next stop in your career.
