I am just about to start the intensive DELTA course for the first two modules, about 2 months! and have decided to do Mod. 3 online. Anyone here has done the DELTA? any advice before I do the course? Thank you guys, I cannot forget all of your encouragement before my CELTA last year! You are so helpful, I mean it!
Thank you!
Cheers,
Sib

Edit - Don't you have to have 2 years of teaching at CELTA level before doing the DELTA? I just noticed that you mention you qualified last year
Yes, you are right, the guidelines say it shouldn't be before two years have passed since completing the CELTA. I did know that, I applied for the course and mentioned the date of my CELTA; as they knew my CELTA tutor very well and I got a quite good recommendation from him, they accepted me with such a short post-CELTA exprience! They are not rigid rules, you know it! Go for it!
This week is gonna be the last week of Mod. 2, and my last lesson,the external one is on Tues. please please please wish me luck, this one is themost important one!!! If anyone fails the last one, gonna fail the course,
wish me luck please!
By the way the DELTA is really really demanding! I just cant breathe! Im looking forward to the last LSA:)
Great. Well done. Everybody that I know that has done it and somee have completed even higher qualifiication say it is the hardest thing they have done. Have a drink on me.
