About Us:

IH Riviera Maya was opened in 2004, as a joint project between IH Barcelona and IH Mexico City. The school has become an important centre for teacher training, language teaching, study tours and related activities in Mexico. IH Riviera Maya is also an official centre for Cambridge ESOL and IELTS exams.

The school consists of two adjoining buildings: A colonial style house with a domed roof and terrace at the front which houses the reception, two large student apartments; and a new, purpose-built building at the back that contains the teachers' room, the study room, the internet access room, offices, the classrooms and two more student apartments.

Approval & Memberships:
At IH Riviera Maya, the tutors are approved by Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages). IH Riviera Maya is a member of the IH World Organization. We are also part of the VIVA Group, providing quality Spanish courses in great destinations.

CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) Course:

The CELTA is a common requirement for those entering the field of ELT (English language teaching). It is recognised internationally, and is a popular credential among people who wish to travel and teach English around the world. However, it is also held by people who intend to teach only in the country where they trained, and do not intend to travel.

Success in the CELTA course has enabled many candidates to obtain their first teaching position: The course is highly regarded by employers as providing sound initial training and a strong basis from which to develop as a teacher of English.

- It is the best known teacher training course for English language teachers in the world.

- The CELTA provides initial training leading to a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults, probably the best choice available for an initial ELT (or TEFL / TESOL) qualification.

- It is intended for those with little or no previous ELT experience, and for teachers with some experience but little previous training.

Additionally:  Social & Cultural Programme in Playa del Carmen

Accommodation:

IH Riviera Maya arranges accommodation to suit your needs (and pocket) in one of four different categories of accommodation - Mexican host families, apartments (either shared, or for your exclusive use), hotels and our purpose-built student residence. Your accommodation is normally provided from the Sunday before your course begins to the Saturday morning after the course ends.

Playa del Carmen:
Playa del Carmen is a marvellous place to spend time. It has all the advantages of a Mexican Caribbean resort - a dazzling, white-sand beach, turquoise sea, a huge range of bars, restaurants and places to stay - and yet it has managed to retain a relaxed, low-rise village atmosphere which has nothing in common with the large-scale tourist resorts elsewhere on the coast. There is plenty to do and see in Playa and the town is growing fast. But the atmosphere is anything other than hectic and it is the gentle surf that seems to dominate the pace of life.

Playa del Carmen has a sub-tropical climate, which means it's almost always warm. The annual average temperature is about 27C or 80F.

Student Testimonials:

"The CELTA course at Playa del Carmen was intense but one of my better life decisions. The school is mega-friendly from cleaner to director, course tutors brilliant, and the town is a paradise for chilling out when work stops." - A. Miczyk, CELTA course trainee.

"The CELTA course at IH Riveria Maya was one of the most rewarding things I have done. I went in having no idea how to teach English and came out feeling ready to teach my own class."
- S. Padilla, CELTA course trainee
