As mentioned in What is TEFL?, TEFL, TESOL and TESL all refer to the same thing, the teaching of the English language to a non-English speaker. This can take place in either a non-English speaking country or in an English speaking country.
CELTA stands for Certficate in English Language Teaching to Adults and is an internationally recognised course designed for people who want to make a full career out of Teaching English.
CELTA courses can be completed as an intensive full time course that last approx 4-5 weeks or as a part time 12 week course over a few months or a year.
A CELT (Certificate in English Language Teaching) is what was formally known as the initial TEFL course and is accredited in Ireland by ACELS (The Advisory Council for English Language Schools in Ireland). Just like a TEFL/TESOL course it is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to teach English as a foreign language in a competent, professional and dynamic manner and enables you to pursue a teaching career at home or abroad.
A Trinity course is a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) qualification which is validated by Trinity College London, one of the oldest examinations board in the world. There are several different types of Trinity courses available and all are recognised worldwide.
