Temporary adjustments to DELTA in response to COVID-19

To enable continued access to DELTA Module 2 courses for candidates during the COVID-19 lockdowns, we have made a number of temporary changes:

  • Allowing approved DELTA Module 2 centres to deliver training online
  • Allowing assessed teaching practice on DELTA Module 2 to take place in an online teaching environment, or by remote assessment.

These changes are approved for courses starting up to 31 May 2021, subject to review.

DELTA is an advanced blend of theory and practice that provides professional development for teachers with at least one year’s experience. It gives you skills and techniques that will help you throughout your career.
