About the teacher training centre
International House Bangkok was founded in 1999 and has since grown into a major centre of English language teaching and teacher training in Thailand. We normally train over 500 CELTA students every year and run courses year round with full-time trainers.
We primarily help students to:
- Become TEFL teachers with the Cambridge CELTA, DELTA, and other teacher training courses
- Learn English intensively or part-time
- Prepare for English exams and other exams
- Study English online with IH Bangkok
Having only full-time CELTA trainers means that our trainers are constantly improving the course, thinking about how best to conduct training, and have more experience than the average CELTA trainer.
What is DELTA Module 1
DELTA (Diploma in teaching English to speakers of other languages) covers advanced theory and practice to help you develop in your teaching career. You need at least one year’s experience to make the most of it.
There are three modules, which you can take in any order.
DELTA Module 1 is “Understanding Language, Methodology and Resources for Teaching”. This is the examined module, and is primarily theoretical. Topics are
- Theory of language acquisition and language teaching
- Different teaching approaches and methodologies
- Language systems and linguistic problems
- Language skills
- Resources, materials and reference sources for language learning
- Assessment concepts and terminology

DELTA Module 1 at IH Bangkok
We have only full-time trainers, and at Bangkok and our sister centre in the North of Thailand, we have over 500 CELTA and DELTA graduates every year!
As Bangkok is a very international city, your classmates will be from all around the world. The age range is also varied with most below 35, but we also regularly have candidates over 50.
We moved to a new, purpose built training centre in 2018 so the facilities are set up for everything teacher trainees need – 14 classrooms, a break room, a resource room with photocopiers, a resource library, computers, and more.
There is also a Cambridge exam fee of £145 with this course.
We accept payment in USD, Thai Baht, and GBP.

I believe that starting out with the Cambridge CELTA through International House Chiang Mai/ Bangkok gives teachers great models and frameworks to use in the classroom and immediate feedback to help them develop. This helps both on the course and also afterwards through reflection, which is a key skill learnt on the course. This coupled with the global Cambridge CELTA recognition run by International House, the school that started it, means it gives the best possible help to TEFL careers.
DELTA Student Testimonials
The DELTA was a great, and challenging experience. I really enjoyed being in Thailand and I could tell my trainers were extremely qualified and cared about me. Morris
I decided on Thailand to take the DELTA because I had already taken my CELTA at IH Bangkok and knew the quality they had with their trainers and centre. The DELTA didn't dissapoint and I really enjoyed my time there. Thanks IH Bangkok! Erica
