Overview

The Cambridge Delta is an advanced qualification for experienced English language teachers looking to take the next step in their careers. So if you’re looking to advance your teaching career by becoming a senior teacher, director of studies, teacher trainer or manager, at Teaching House we can help you gain the qualification needed.
The Delta is a Master's level qualification that builds on prior training and teaching experience by deepening understanding of English language teaching (ELT) methodology and exploring how to apply this knowledge in real-world professional contexts. While we typically recommend applicants have a CELTA and at least two years of post-CELTA teaching experience, we consider each application on its own merits. Relevant experience gained before CELTA, or an initial qualification that included at least six hours of observed and assessed teaching practice, may also meet the entry requirements. If in doubt, please feel free to get in touch for a personalised appraisal of whether the Delta is right for you.

The Delta is a flexible programme made up of three modules:

MODULE ONE

Teaching: Language, Methods & Resources
Deepen your theoretical knowledge of language teaching. This module focuses on language analysis, teaching methodologies, and resources, preparing you for the written exam and helping you make informed, practical classroom decisions.

MODULE TWO

Developing Professional Practice
Strengthen your teaching skills through observed lessons, guided reflection, and professional development. This module is hands-on, helping you refine your practice with real learners while receiving detailed feedback and support.

MODULE THREE

Extending Practice and ELT Specialism
Specialise in an area of English language teaching, such as Business English or English for Academic Purposes. You’ll research, plan, and design a detailed course proposal tailored to your chosen context and learners.

Delta makes a difference

After I’d finished my Delta, I stayed at a language school in New York, but I started to go in a more administrative direction, taking over responsibility for the Cambridge exams at our center, standing in for the DoS when necessary, and working on updating our center’s test banks. I’ve also run several PD (professional development) sessions for our teachers. I am currently being trained as a teacher trainer, and will be running CELTA courses this summer! I love the variety that Delta has given me.

I recently completed and passed my DELTA Module 1 course. I am over the moon as this test has always been one of my fears and I had been putting it off for so long. Helen, my tutor, was amazing and really helped me out.  I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only did I pass because of this course but also my teaching has skyrocketed and I feel I have grown so much more as a teacher.

I did the Blended Delta program, where Modules 1 and 3 were done by distance and Module 2 was done mostly onsite, at Teaching House New York. I found the online materials helpful and relevant, and my tutor, Paula, was excellent - she provided in-depth feedback in a very timely fashion, and was consistently available to me, even though she was working in a different timezone. I couldn't have asked for a better distance tutor!
