  • 26 weeks
  • Certificate by Cambridge English
Cambridge DELTA Module Two is a practice-based qualification focused on developing advanced classroom teaching skills. Candidates plan, teach, and evaluate lessons with real learners, demonstrating informed professional judgement grounded in current ELT theory. The module is assessed by Cambridge through an externally moderated teaching portfolio and emphasises reflective practice and principled decision-making.

The course is flexible, allowing candidates to work at their own pace and submit a completed portfolio in June or October, within a maximum duration of one year. Teaching practice may be assessed online via Zoom or Teams, or through live-streamed face-to-face lessons. Candidates based in Istanbul may be able to complete face-to-face lesson assessments in person. Course input is mainly self-study, with optional live Zoom sessions depending on cohort demand.

A Cambridge entry fee of £225 is payable when submitting the portfolio.
