What is a DELTA Course?

How difficult is the DELTA Course?

If you want a personal challenge and feel the need to boost your confidence, gain and enormous amount of knowledge, and want to make a career as an ESL teacher, then yes, doing a Delta could be for you, but give it a long hard think, because it will certainly be one of the most challenging and exhausting courses you will learn.

Can I do DELTA without a CELTA?

Centers 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.

What is the difference between DELTA & CELTA?

What Is The Difference Between DELTA and CELTA? CELTA is a brand of TEFL Certification and a TEFL Certification is the qualification you need to teach English abroad. DELTA is a brand qualification awarded by the same organization that awards CELTA.

Is DELTA the same as masters?

The Delta is a blend of both theory and practice, but includes a hands-on practical element that isn't required in many master's programs. It has a focus on classroom practices and there are literally observations of you teaching—this is not part of many master's programs.
