Delta is a flexible, three-module qualification for people with experience of teaching English to speakers of other languages who want to progress further in their careers. Because it is awarded by Cambridge English Language Assessment, part of the University of Cambridge, Delta is internationally recognised, highly respected and a benchmark for quality.
Module 1 (the exam) focuses on extending and developing candidates’ knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning English in a range of contexts.
Module 2 (teaching practice) focuses on developing awareness and expertise in the principles and professional practice of teaching English in a range of contexts.
Module 3 (course design) focuses on needs analysis, syllabus design, course planning and assessment.
The three modules can also be taken separately and are separately certificated.
The three modules of Delta will:
This qualification is for teachers with some experience who want to:
The Cambridge Delta is recognised and accepted all over the world by organisations employing English language teachers. All three modules are separately accredited by Ofqual, the regulator for qualifications, exams and tests in England at Level 7 on the National Qualifications Framework for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Delta modules can also be integrated into some MA programmes in the UK.
Cambridge say that people entering the course will normally have at least two years' full-time relevant teaching experience, a first degree, an initial teaching qualification, a range of teaching experience, and a sufficient level of English. As the wording suggests, these are not absolute requirements. In practice, though, course providers are quite precious about their pass rates and so often impose their own requirements (such as a longer period of teaching experience) on people applying to take the course through them. Having taken part in a lot of professional development is probably the most useful thing for actually passing the course.

Istanbul is a major city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Its Old City reflects cultural influences of the many empires that once ruled here. In the Sultanahmet district, the open-air, Roman-era Hippodrome was for centuries the site of chariot races, and Egyptian obelisks also remain. The iconic Byzantine Hagia Sophia features a soaring 6th-century dome and rare Christian mosaics.
the course I had an outstanding experience on this CELTA course. It was intensive, challenging, and one of the most rewarding professional development experiences of my career. Every teaching practice, assignment, and input session helped me become a more reflective, student-centred, and confident teacher. The course was extremely well organised, and the quality of the training exceeded my expectations. A special thank you goes to my tutors, Zahra and Figen. Their professionalism, patience, encouragement, and incredibly detailed feedback made a huge difference to my development. They always believed in us, supported us through every challenge, and created a positive learning environment where we felt comfortable asking questions and learning from our mistakes. Their guidance transformed the way I plan and teach lessons. I would also like to thank Mehdi for his excellent input sessions. They were engaging, practical, and full of useful ideas that I could immediately apply in my teaching. His sessions made complex concepts easy to understand and enriched the whole course experience.
My main difficulty with the course was that much of Module Three felt like a guessing game. I often felt that candidates were expected to work out complex assignment requirements independently from written instructions rather than being guided through them. As teachers, we are trained to make difficult concepts accessible to learners, explain expectations clearly, and support understanding before expecting independent performance. For this reason, I found it surprising that there were no structured seminars or workshops explaining what needs analysis, diagnostic testing, learning priorities, and assignment expectations should actually look like in practice. Unfortunately, I only felt that I fully understood what was expected after approximately four months on the course, leaving me with only about one month to complete and finalise the assignment. Personally, I learn much more effectively through listening, discussion, examples and guided explanation than through reading large amounts of written guidance. Looking back, I still wonder why no introductory seminars or recorded workshops were organised to help candidates understand the assignment requirements from the beginning.
Good communication between tutors and tutees. My emails were always promptly answered. Tutors were almost always available which for a course this intense is very important. A good experience that I would be happy to recommend to others.
