Teacher Trainer, BSC York
I am interested in teacher training in terms of leading teachers through CELTA. I have also had the opportunity to train CELTA trainers which is very rewarding, as is the positive feedback from trainees and hearing from successful CELTA graduates about how their EFL careers have developed after CELTA. It is great to hear about what they are doing now and the range of opportunities CELTA has given them.
BSC Manchester college is in a newly modernised historic building situated in the heart of the city centre and is close to cafes, shops, restaurants and a vibrant music scene.
There’s the Northern Quarter with its music venues, bars, pubs and many restaurants, or the Ancoats area with its industrial history. There are free museums to visit, theatres to enjoy plays, cinemas to see the latest films or watch a Premier football match at City or United.
You can find everything you need for CELTA, including a training room, classrooms; all with interactive whiteboards. Dedicated CELTA books and resources are at your disposal.

Teacher Trainier, BSC Manchester
I enjoy the rewards that being a CELTA trainer brings. It’s wonderful to see teachers growing in confidence and putting their new skills into practice.
As the course progresses new teachers and experienced teachers can see the benefits that the CELTA course has to offer. Whether the course is online or face to face, or whether it’s full time or part time, we are able to offer support along the way.
The CELTA certificate opens so many doors, from teaching whilst travelling to a full career path into training or management. I should know. I did my CELTA with this wonderful company many years ago, and now I’m a teacher trainer with BSC.
York is a beautiful walled city with winding streets and friendly people. It is small enough to walk across but big enough to have all the shops and facilities that visitors need. In 2021 it was voted as one of the best places to live in the country and is within easy reach of Manchester, London and Edinburgh by train. It’s a great place to come and study.
BSC York is located close to the city centre and is a few minutes away from cafes and restaurants. The CELTA centre is part of BSC York college and has a training room and classrooms with interactive whiteboards and a library of CELTA resources.
