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.

H Milan was founded in 1982 by Sieglinde Wolkan and Claudio Tedesco, and Sieglinde still runs the school today. There are two main premises - one in the city centre (close to the 'Duomo', or cathedral) and one in San Donato Milanese.
Teacher training is key to IH Milan's work and our department offers a full pathway for teachers, from CELTA to Young Learners to Business English to DELTA.
IH Milan is, of course, also a working language school and exam centre which maintains a friendly, supportive and positive atmosphere.

As a member of both IHWO (International House World Organisation) and AISLI (Italian Association of Language Schools), we keep our CELTA graduates updated on teaching opportunities within these networks. On the course itself, we include input sessions designed to help with finding a job and continued professional development. Finally, following all of our CELTA courses, graduates have the opportunity to attend two free 90-minute workshops, one on Teaching Young Learners and one on Teaching Business English. IH Milan also occasionally hires high-achieving trainees should there be a vacancy.
A dedicated member of the school team looks after accommodation, and can arrange host families near the school or help with apartments. Those who prefer to arrange their own accommodation will be advised on the most suitable areas.
Upon acceptance to the course, candidates are required to pay a 30% non-refundable deposit to confirm their place.
If written withdrawal of enrolment is received four or more weeks prior to course commencement, 100% of fees (less non-refundable deposit) will be refunded. If written withdrawal of enrolment is received less than four weeks prior to course commencement, 50% of fees (less non-refundable deposit) will be refunded. No refund is due if withdrawal occurs 14 days prior to the commencement date.
In the unlikely event that International House Milan is unable to provide a course for an enrolled trainee, all fees will be refunded in full or transferred to a course at a later date.
'Aperitivo' is an institution, looking good is an art form, and the lack of a parking space is a chance to get creative!
The financial heart of Italy and the European capital of the fashion industry, Milan is stylish, innovative, creative, and always on the move. From the elegant city centre to the charming Naviglio canal district to the latest neighbourhood gentrification project, there are always pleasant surprises to be found in Milan. World-class museums, fashion, and theatre are the norm, but so are hidden corners, secret gardens, and artisanal shops.
“Milan is a true metropolis: strong and fearless, but welcoming, too.” – Giorgio Armani
I took the intensive online CELTA course and it was quite challenging. However, our tutors were extremely supportive and I found it to be an overall great experience.
