International House Buenos Aires is one of the most popular and well-established CELTA providers in South America. What sets us apart is our vastly experienced team of in-house tutors, who tailor every course to the needs of each candidate — Face2Face or Online, full-time or part-time.

All candidates get a unique self-study / reference learning platform focusing on lesson planning and language awareness, before, during and after the course, at no additional cost.

Please be aware that the full-time CELTA course is highly intensive. Candidates should not have any outside work or study commitments during the course.

  • 6 hours of teaching practice across 8 lessons
  • 6 hours of observation of experienced teachers
  • 4 practically-focused written assignments
  • Input sessions on current methodology and language analysis

The syllabus has five units: learners and teachers and the teaching context; language analysis and awareness; language skills; planning and resources; developing teaching skills and professionalism.

You are assessed throughout the course with no final exam, through teaching practice and written assignments, moderated by an external Cambridge assessor. Grades: Pass, Pass B and Pass A.

All 2026 courses, full-time and part-time, online or Face2Face: US$1620, payable in US Dollars or Argentine Pesos at the official exchange rate (bna.com.ar). Includes the Cambridge Registration Fee. Any increase by Cambridge English during the year will be added.
