CELTA Sanctuary Scholarship

This Sanctuary Scholarship (course fee waiver only) is for students with a background of forced displacement to the UK who wish to study on our face-to-face CELTA course. CELTA is an initial teacher training qualification for people who wish to enter the field of teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Learn more about CELTA.
