Cambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) offers the world's leading range of certificates for both learners and teachers of English. A Cambridge ESOL certificate can help you gain entrance to college or university, improve your prospects at work, or simply provide a measure of your progress in English. It operates in a hundred and thirty five countries worldwide and each year over one and three quarter million people attempt to gain a Cambridge ESOL qualification.
Cambridge ESOL is part of Cambridge Assessment, formerly known as UCLES (University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate), a non-teaching department of the University of Cambridge, England. Cambridge Assessment is Europe's largest assessment agency and one of the largest internationally recognised assessment agencies in the world. A not-for-profit organisation, Cambridge Assessment celebrated it's one hundred and fiftieth anniversary in 2008.
TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) are umbrella terms for all the various English language teaching awards available worldwide. As such, all Cambridge ESOL teaching awards are 'TEFL courses' (or 'TESOL courses').

The Cambridge ESOL DELTA teaching award is now in a new modular format that makes it more convenient for working teachers.
The modular DELTA consists of three modules, each of which links into and supports the others. In theory, the modules can be done in any order but in practice it's best to do them in the order they're presented below, i.e., Module 1, then Module 2, then Module 3.
We make significant use of a browser-based course management software package called 'Moodle' (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) which serves primarily as a means of distributing and collecting documents (written assignments, lesson plans e.t.c.) If your course includes 'a Moodle component' (which all of our CELTA courses and most of our DELTA courses do), you will be provided with a Moodle enrolment key (once we have received your deposit payment) and you will be expected to upload and download course-related documents using Moodle from then on. Regular Internet access throughout the duration of your course (and in some cases before your course begins) is therefore a must.
We maintain a number of desktop PCs at the school which you can use but demand for these PCs can sometimes outstrip supply. We therefore recommend that you bring your own laptop if you have one. You will find it very useful. Wireless Internet access is freely available.
We offer both full and part time DELTA Module 1 courses at certain times throughout the year (priced at £400.00), and in addition, an entirely on-line DELTA Module 1 course, available on demand (and priced at £250).
Your performance in Module 1 is assessed by examination. The exam consists of two papers of 90 minutes each with a 30 minute break between them.
