How to Become Celta or Delta Certified

English as a Foreign Language is a popular subject in private language academies outside of English-speaking countries. While professors in U.S. universities generally need a doctorate to teach in their field, private English language academies abroad typically look only for a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language or in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. These certificates require four weeks of full-time study, including the CELTA, the University of Cambridge's certificate program for teaching adults. For experienced English teachers looking for additional education, the University of Cambridge offers the DELTA diploma, which requires two to three months of study.
