About DC Teacher Training
We run high-quality Cambridge-accredited CELTA courses in multiple UK locations and online. We train hundreds of CELTA candidates each year making us one of the biggest CELTA providers globally. Our team includes experienced and qualified CELTA and DELTA trainers, assessors, and academic managers. We set up DC Teacher Training because CELTA opened doors for us, and we’re proud to support others starting their teaching careers.
