DELTA (Diploma in teaching English to speakers of other languages) is a detailed and comprehensive course that covers advanced theory and practice to help you develop in your teaching career.
DELTA is a qualification from Cambridge English Assessment, which is part of the University of Cambridge.
You need at least one year’s experience to make the most of it, although many people take it after a number of year’s experience in the classroom. If you are planning to progress into academic management a DELTA is a very good idea. In some schools it will be a prerequisite.
There are three modules, which you can take in any order.
DELTA Module 2
DELTA Module 2 is “Developing Professional Practice”. It is assessed with a portfolio of coursework and assessed lesson observations. Topics covered are:
- The learner and learning context
- Preparing to teach
- Using resources and materials in the classroom
- Managing and supporting learning
- Evaluating lesson planning
- Observing lessons
- Professional development
The other modules
Module 1 is “Understanding Language, Methodology and Resources for Teaching”. This is the examined module, and is primarily theoretical.
Module 3 is independent research on either an ELT specialism or management. It is assessed by a written dissertation.

Our CELTA+AI 100% Online course timetables combine the benefit of studying online at your convenience with “virtual” face to face teaching. This gives you maximum flexibility in how you do your course and minimal time spent away from earning an income.
Most CELTA courses are run over 4 or 5 weeks, Monday to Friday. This can be intense, as it’s a relatively short time to take everything on board.
Choose our semi-intensive (6 weeks) or part time (12 weeks) to give yourself more time to process information and prepare for teaching practice.
CELTA is a methodology course and focuses on teaching general English to adults. Although you may be delivering your lessons online, that’s where CELTA stops as far as “online teaching”. However, if you’re hired to teach online you may need to know how to plan for synchronous and asynchronous lessons, manage content on platforms, etc., and that’s where our Teaching Online Certificate comes in.
We created this course at the beginning of the pandemic to help teachers transition to teaching online and picks up where CELTA leaves off, leading to a second, separate certificate, apart from your CELTA. Our thinking behind this is, your CELTA certificate says “I know how to teach English” and your Teaching Online certificate says “I know how to teach online”, so both certificates show potential employers that you’re qualified to teach English, online.
