DELTA entry requirements

Accessing Cambridge DELTA course

Cambridge ESOL ‘Syllabus and Assessment Guidelines’ stipulate that a candidate will normally:

• Have a first degree

• Have some formal training in ELT

• Have a minimum of two years’ full-time teaching experience (1200 hours) of ELT to adults within the last five years

• Have a range of teaching experience, involving work in different teaching contexts and experience of teaching learners at different levels

• Have a level of awareness and competence in English sufficient to complete all components of the course

• Be at least 21 years old

DELTA Selection Procedure

Selection of candidates is based on the completion of the Application Form and Pre-interview Tasks and a following interview (see enrolment section). Interviews are conducted by our qualified and experienced DELTA course tutors. They can be by telephone, via Skype, or face-to-face for local candidates.

Acceptance on the course is by no means automatic and is at the discretion of the centre. A rigorous selection process is undertaken to ensure the candidate’s suitability and a high degree of success on the course.

We only accept candidates on the course who we feel confident can pass, and this is reflected in our high pass rates.
