What is DELTA?

DELTA is the Cambridge Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults, one of the world's foremost qualifications for experienced ELT professionals. This comprehensive training programme is ideal for those wishing to acquire new insights and a deeper understanding of ELT. Advanced training includes teaching practice, lesson observations and supervised teaching assignments. DELTA offers a well-proven fast track to professional recognition and can open up new careers in teacher training, school management, ELT publishing and many others.

Who is DELTA for?

Participants will normally have a range of experience teaching English as a foreign language to adults, involving work in different contexts to a variety of nationalities and levels. This means at least two years' full time teaching (approximately 1,200 hours) within the last 5 years. Participants must also have either the CELTA or the Trinity College, London Cert TESOL qualification.
