The DELTA Module Three assessment focuses on designing a specialist course in a specific learning context. Candidates will need to demonstrate that they understand the principles of needs analysis, diagnostic assessment, syllabus design, course planning and course assessment. They will also need to demonstrate understanding of the key issues involved in their chosen area of specialism. Our Module Three course will not only provide the required background knowledge, but it will also support and guide you in the process of drafting and redrafting your assignmen
Participants
If This course is intended for experienced teachers who wish to prepare for the Cambridge DELTA Module 3 assessment, offered in June and December each year.

Duration
