Cambridge Delta

The Cambridge Delta The Diploma

Status & Recognition

 

The Cambridge DELTA Diploma is a professional qualification  at level 7 as regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) on the Qualifications and Credit Framework and given premium product endorsement by NEAS in Australia.  It is postgraduate in level and although it is not a Masters on its own, most UK universities will give Delta holders exemptions and credits on their MA courses related to the subject of teaching English, Linguistics or Applied Linguistics. You can view the list  of exemptions on several UK M.A. programmes here.

In the Cambridge Teaching Qualifications Framework, the Delta is at the level of Proficient to Expert Teacher.

Career development value

After the CELTA, the Cambridge Delta is one of the most sought after and well-respected qualifications internationally. It is recognised by all British Universities and is fast becoming a prerequisite for some of the most interesting jobs in our field all over the world.  Delta holders find themselves eligible for more interesting careers including positions as Directors of Studies and Teacher Trainers – the Delta is a basic prerequisite for those seeking to become CELTA trainers.

The three Modules 

The course is organised around three modules, each of which is assessed separately. During the last module (Module III) candidates may focus on an area of specialism from a wide range of topics(e.g., Young Learners, ESP, Exam Classes, and many more: a full list is available on request). but  covers other needs and age groups of interest to each candidate as well.

Applicants must have at least one year’s experience of classroom teaching experience at a variety of level and hold a first degree in English or have appropriate qualifications which allow them to teach in their country; in addition, they should have attended a teacher training programme such as a CELTA, COTE or an equivalent Certificate in TEFL.

Course Options at CELT Athens:

Our centre organises integrated courses but candidates can follow Module strands quite easily; we advise candidates to follow such courses rather than by separate module for two reasons:

1. Financial: you save more than 500 euro by doing so
2. Educational: there is considerable overlap across modules and it is more efficient to take them together at the same centre but delay the assessment of module, if there is a question of time available for study. 

If you are afraid of the workload, which is fully understandable, as DELTA candidates are usually highly experienced and very busy teachers, simply take in the input but space your assessment over a few months, For example, follow the course and complete your module 1, then after the end of the course and your Module 1 written exam, study in order to write your Module 2 assignments.

Our integrated Delta course is available as an online/blended part-time course or as an intensive face-to-face course. Please click on each option to visit the information page and decide which is more suited to your needs and your schedule.
