I'll be starting the MA soon (very part-time) and will see if my school will cough up for half the DELTA cost.
I welcome any form of discussion on the DELTA. |
Huh? Why both? Credentials just for the sake of credentials? |
Practical short course (DELTA) vs theoretical academic course (MA).
Heaven forbid they may actually compliment each other.

I thought so too. The MA won't be finished for a few years. Better jobs and management positions require it and in the meantime the DELTA can help me become a better teacher.
Having a CELTA and a degree puts me in the same boat as so many other people. I thought having something practical and theoretical would be a nice way of going up the totem pole. |

| Some MAs will give you credit for the DELTA (in the UK it typically exempts you from 1/4-1/3 of the modules for a related MA). I am sure I also read on here that certain Masters exempt you from 1 or 2 of the theoretical modules of the DELTA as well, but I can't find any info on that as well. |

| Personally I am looking at doing the DELTA at the end of this year, or early 2013, then later an MA in something entirely unrelated. Would have thought one wouldn�t need both DELTA and an MA in ESL (*my impression only) - but the DELTA may well be a good springboard for getting back into full-time study mode, as it is a habit one gets out of. |
