Prepare yourself for the Cambridge Delta
Take your knowledge of teaching and learning to the next level.
The Delta introduction course is designed principally to prepare you for doing Delta in the near future and will have a direct impact on your current teaching now. The areas covered map directly to the Delta Module 1 written paper, which focuses on extending and developing candidates’ knowledge and understanding of teaching and learning English in a range of contexts.
This course is for qualified teachers who have at least two years’ experience teaching English and would like to up their current knowledge with a view to starting the Delta Modules next year.
The course runs weekly on Friday mornings from 12:30 to 14:00 starting January 23, 2026. There will be some background reading and tasks to complete from one session to the next. The course is manageable for teachers with a full teaching timetable. The course will be given face-to-face or online depending on demand.

The International House Madrid Delta Bridge course has been designed to prepare experienced teachers and bring them to the entry point for the Cambridge Delta.
It is also for teachers who feel they would benefit by taking a year to re-examine the practices and principles which they studied during their pre-service course and reflect on how they have developed these.
It has been written by International House Madrid and is specifically designed to improve your teaching ability and give you the confidence to take the Cambridge Delta in the near future.
The focus of the course is to lift your current teaching ability to a safe entry point for Delta. There will be methodology, but the emphasis is on teaching skills. This is a very practical course; we will demonstrate all the procedures and discuss the rationale behind them.
Candidates from any teaching environment who have at least 2 years’ experience after pre-service training and who have taught a range of learners from beginners to advanced can apply.
