Preparing for all DELTA modules

You can prepare for DELTA by:

  • taking a face-to-face, online, blended or distance course with an authorised centre
  • taking a distance learning programme with an approved provider.

Ways to take DELTA

In addition, you can also prepare independently by:

  • reading and studying independently using reference books
  • observing other teachers to experience new techniques, materials and resources
  • asking your colleagues to observe you when you are teaching lessons, giving you constructive feedback
  • thinking about your strengths and weaknesses as a teacher. You can use the Cambridge English Teaching Framework to help you determine your strengths and weaknesses.

Module One sample tests

These sample tests show you what a full test paper will look like and the types of questions that will appear. The examination report describes how candidates performed in these tests and offers you guidance on how to prepare for your examination.

Standard size DELTA module 1 exam papers

By default, DELTA module 1 exam papers are written with a font size of Arial point 11 for all rubrics. However, in every session there will be material reproduced from other sources. The print on these materials is likely to be smaller than point 11 and in different font styles. If you think this might be challenging for you to work with, please speak to your centre as soon as possible to discuss using the A3 unmodified version.

A3 size DELTA module 1 exam papers

DELTA Module 1 exam papers are available as A3 unmodified versions. This means that the question paper is enlarged to A3 size. This is not modified large print and the material you see in the question paper which is reproduced from other sources (e.g. published course books, learner work in original handwriting, articles from newspapers or online sources etc.) may not be fully accessible to you if you have a severe vision impairment. Please speak to your centre and they will contact us for further advice and help.
