There isn’t much difference between TESOL and CELTA!
When considering teaching English abroad, many people usually narrow it down to TEFL, TESOL and CELTA courses.
The very basic difference between TESOL and CELTA refers to what they stand for. The former stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, But the latter is Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
TESOL is appropriate for teachers who plan to work with non-native English speakers living in an English speaking country. TESOL teachers help students to use English to communicate in their daily life in an English speaking country. This includes things like going shopping, ordering food at a restaurant, and so on.
CELTA is specifically affiliated with Cambridge University. So think of CELTA as a branded version of a generic TESOL course. A CELTA is for people who are certain they want to pursue a career (two years or more) teaching English, either at home or abroad.
