How to Choose an Accredited DELTA Centre



Whether you want to do your DELTA online or face-to-face, your DELTA tutor and the accredited centre are in a specific, physical location. You should choose which accredited centre to take the course through based on several factors, such as time zones, dates, the intensity of each course, and its structure. A further explanation about each accredited centre can be found below.



For Module 1, you will need to attend a Cambridge examination centre to take the exam, which is held every June and December. This could be your online course's accredited centre, or another centre closer to you. Once you apply for a DELTA course, your DELTA admissions officer and tutor can help you decide on an examination centre that is convenient for you.



You do not have to attend the accredited centre to take the online DELTA course; it can be taken by distance from anywhere in the world.

















DELTA Accredited Centres



While the courses listed on StudyCELTA are fully online, your DELTA tutor and the accredited centre for running the course are in a specific location. You should choose the centre that will run your course based on time zones, dates, and the intensity of each course. 









DELTA Online or Face-to-face, the recognition is the same



The requirements are the same as taking a DELTA module in another format. 



However, with the course being completely online, it is a requirement if you have the following:



a) A working laptop or desktop computer with a microphone and speakers
b) A secure internet connection
c) A designated and comfortable working space at home









How do I apply for the DELTA?

Select ‘DELTA online’ and your module in the course type drop down
Choose the accredited centre
Select your desired course dates
Fill out your basic information and submit the form
Finally, one of our DELTA admissions officers will be in touch with the application documents for you to fill out



Alternatively, you can contact us and let us know which module, course date and accredited centre you’re interested in, and a DELTA admissions officer will be in touch with the application documents.










Minimum Entry Requirements for the Delta Modules



The DELTA Course is intended for experienced teachers. Meaning teachers who wish to extend their professional experience and accept new responsibilities. The DELTA does not only demonstrates a commitment to the profession but also proof of ability.



It is open to people from all language backgrounds. All participants must have native speaker proficiency, written and spoken, that enables them to follow the course and complete all assessed and non-assessed elements successfully.



Ideally, applicants should:



have at least one years' full time (1,200 hours) experience of teaching English to a variety of levels within the past five years.
be able to prove a range of teaching experience in different contexts and at different levels.
be a graduate and have an initial teaching qualification (i.e. CELTA, Trinity Cert TESOL or equivalent)
have a standard of English which will enable you to teach at a range of levels (native-speaker proficiency, such as C2, CPE or IELTS 8+)



We may still accept applicants if they do not strictly meet these requirements but can demonstrate that they would be likely to complete the course successfully. If you're unsure about your eligibility, get in contact with one of our DELTA experts.
