I believe this is the correct way to do DELTA. I would recommend the course to anyone.

You’ve been teaching for a while now and are ready for a change. You’re looking to bring some sparkle to your classroom practice and to build your knowledge of methodology. You might even be thinking about a new direction in your English language teaching career.
Is it time for Cambridge DELTA?
You’re considering Cambridge DELTA, the Master’s level qualification for English language teachers. A three-module course that covers theory and practice and helps you build new skills for curriculum design or management.
It sounds perfect, just what you need!
You’ve heard a lot about the stress of DELTA, especially the time pressures of a 12-week intensive course. That’s just not going to work for you. You’ve got a job to do and a life to lead.
The self-study option, maybe? Well, it sounds a little lonely.
What you really want is a course that works for you, one that fits around your teaching schedule and your day-to-day life.
A chance to learn with other teachers and learn from experienced DELTA trainers.
With some accountability, just to help you stay on track.
You’re in the right place. Welcome to Take Your Time DELTA. Slower-paced, lower-stress courses for DELTA Modules 1 and 3.
Doing the Take Your Time DELTA course over 30 weeks makes it possible to fit studying around my teaching schedule without stress and with space to reflect and research.

Not sure if you’re ready for Take Your Time DELTA?
I had lost hope and confidence through the process of struggling to manage my full-time job and the ‘beast’ called DELTA. Sandy helped me gain it all back through her friendly feedback and her well-organised course. After successfully completing Module 1 with her, I knew that I wanted to do Module 3.
