Im just doing module 1. Thats a 3 month course delivered via distance learning with two 90 minute exams on language awareness / grammar / text and materials analysis tasks. That part doesn't need to be done through a school and I have paid �599 to do this on the distance delta program which is done with International House and the BC.

The teaching practicum needs to be done 'in school', but I cant comment on where or when that should be done. In all honesty, I just want to get the first module done and decide later on my next steps.

I dont know if Ill do the practical part, and I may not finish the whole course. At the end of the day, I think this module isnt cost-prohibitive, I have a time window in which I can study and I think passing module 1 of the delta is still likely to be a useful addition to my resume. Its certainly better than me wasting the next 3 months and not really adding anything substantial to my qualifications.

Thank you, tttompatz for that breakdown of the options for pursuing a teaching career. I've been researching different paths and what you have written is a very concise reference for evaluating each of the various options.
