The third module of the DELTA course is assessed by a long-form, written assignment. Candidates on this module can choose to focus on one of two specialist streams; option one, which focuses on needs analysis, syllabus design, course planning and assessment; or option two, which looks at situation analysis, planning and implementing change. Detailed descriptions of these two options are included below.
The online DELTA module 3 course can be studied by distance, from wherever you are based in the world. The aim of the course is to assist you in planning and writing the final assignment, which you can then submit electronically.
What is the DELTA Course?

- English for Specific Purposes
- ESOL learners with literacy needs

To successfully complete this module, you will need to have access to management data from a relevant language teaching context.
How to Choose an Accredited DELTA Module 3 Centre
While a DELTA Module 2 Online course is 100% online, your DELTA tutor and the centre accredited to run the course 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.
As Module 3 is in preparation for a final, written assignment, there is no need for you to travel anywhere to take the course. The final assignment can be submitted electronically.
You do not have to attend the accredited centre to take an 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:

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 or take our DELTA eligibility test to get more information.
