If you are an experienced teacher, you may be considering taking a more advanced qualification in ELT. For many teachers, this means considering the Trinity DipTESOL and the Cambridge DELTA.
Trinity and Cambridge-accredited courses are of equal recognition and are world-renowned as high-quality teacher training. So, having a Trinity DipTESOL or Cambridge DELTA is one of the best ways you can develop your teaching career and compete for some of the best jobs in ELT.
Both courses are suitable for teachers in any context, working with any age range – young learners, teenagers or adults. In addition to this, you also have the opportunity to focus on a specialist area of study.
The Trinity DipTESOL consists of four units, which you can also take together or separately, in any order, within three years. This makes it a very flexible course – you study at your own pace, and the practical elements take place in an approved centre.
