Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (DELTA)

It is a modular teacher training course at a Diploma Level. The course is designed to deepen the understanding of teaching theory and practice.
DELTA can be taken as a face-to-face, blended-learning, or distance course. You learn at your own pace, and the practical elements can be completed in your own workplace.
Before contacting your centre, please check you meet the following criteria:

  1. Is your English good enough to teach at a range of levels? You should have a minimum CEFR Level of high C1.
  2. Do you have at least one year’s experience of teaching English?
  3. Do you have an initial English language teaching qualification, such as CELTA?

Centres may still accept you on to a DELTA course without an existing teaching qualification if you can demonstrate that you would be likely to complete a course successfully, for example by giving evidence of previous successful study.
