Module 3 by tutorial

Module 3 is an individual research assignment and, often, candidates select options suited to their individual teaching contexts so attending a group course is not possible for all specialisms. 

Most specialisms are covered by input in the taught part of our integrated courses with the exception of some topic areas such as the teaching of young learners and ELT Management, which do not form an integral part of the core Delta syllabus. 

At CELT, more often that not, support for Module 3 is done by individual tutorial rather than by attending a course. These are the stages of producing a Module 3 assignment which includes a course plan for a short course or for part of a longer course.  The time frame for this work is normally between 2 – 4 months depending on each candidate’s other commitments. Module 3 candidates can be external or they may be internal candidates following our integrated full course. 

MODULE 3 – Breakdown of Stages

For candidates tutored individually, the following steps are followedL  These form a timeline from the time we have accepted a candidate to the upload of their assignment into the Cambridge portal.  The time dedicated to each stage is discussed with each individual trainee but it cannot be less than 6 weeks before submission of the assignment.

If you have already completed your Modules 1 and 2 at another centre and still wish us to support your Module 3 work, do get in touch.

Cambridge usually suggests completing this module last, but not all candidates come from the same background or have the same level of experience with academic writing. Each case is examined on its merits. 

Tuition Fees

For external candidates or by-Module candidates is 600 euros plus the Cambridge assessment fee.  Candidates who have registered on the integrated course (3 module option), do not pay extra for any of the Option 1 specialisms that the centre offers. For option 2, internal candidates are required to pay an extra 300 euros.
