DELTA Module Two

DELTA is an advanced blend of theory and practice for English language teachers who have been teaching for at least one year. It suits teachers aiming for senior roles such as head of English or teacher trainer, and experienced teachers who want to extend expertise in a specialist area. It is suitable for any age group, from young learners to adults.

Cambridge English states that DELTA is for first language and non-first language speakers of English with a CEFR level of C1 or above. If your level is below C1, strengthen it before starting, because the course and its written assignments demand precise, extended academic writing in English.

DELTA consists of three modules, and Cambridge English states they can be taken in any order or combination. That flexibility lets you fit modules around work, but it also means the sequence is your decision. Ask your chosen centre how it sequences or timetables the modules before you commit.

Cambridge English lists four ways to take DELTA: face-to-face, online, blended or distance course. Availability varies by centre, so check which modes your nearest authorised centre offers. Cambridge English advises starting your DELTA journey with one of its authorised centres, which you can find through its centre search.

Cambridge English places DELTA at the Proficient to Expert stages on the Cambridge English Teaching Framework. That positioning signals the expected depth: it is not an introductory teaching qualification, and it assumes you already have at least one year of classroom experience to draw on.

Start with the Cambridge English DELTA pages, which include sections on the modules, preparing for DELTA, ways to take DELTA, results and reasonable adjustments. Then speak to an authorised centre about its reading list and task expectations. Cambridge English also offers general professional development resources for teachers at any level of experience or training.

Cambridge English does not state course duration, assessment dates or results timing on its main DELTA page. These details depend on the centre and module, so confirm them directly with your chosen authorised centre and check the results section of the Cambridge English DELTA pages before you enrol.

Fees and retake arrangements are not given on the Cambridge English DELTA overview page, so they must be confirmed with your centre. Ask about module fees, resubmission or retake rules, and any time limits on re-entering assessment before you pay, since policies can differ between centres and course modes.
