DELTA Course general information, Barcelona

The Cambridge Diploma (DELTA) that we offer in Barcelona is the most prestigious and widely recognised qualification in English Language Teaching. It is intended for candidates who have substantial experience of teaching English.

Delta Aims:

To offer candidates who have substantial experience of teaching English to adult speakers of other languages the opportunity to:

1. deepen their understanding of the principles and practice of teaching the English language to adults;
   
2. examine their current practices and beliefs;
   
3. apply the results of their learning and reflection to their current teaching position and more senior roles.

DELTA Entry Criteria for Barcelona

Candidates are expected to be graduates or to have qualified teacher status. Some basic ELT training, for example the CELTA or its equivalent, is considered essential.

As a rough guide, two years' broad and full-time experience of teaching English to adults in class is the minimum prerequisite in terms of teaching experience.
