I'm looking at teaching in the UK long-term and have seen that a DELTA is required for most of the senior positions on offer.

I have a Master's in Education (ELT pathway), a Trinity TESOL certificate and quite a few years experience. My MA didn't have much observation so was wondering if the DELTA module 2 would be enough for me if I wanted to be considered for Director of Studies or Teacher Trainer positions? Or would I need to complete all three modules?

I keen to hear from anyone who has done an MA and then a DELTA afterwards.

Thanks

You might also post this on the UK forum since that's your future target country.

Yeah, I'll add it now.

Unless the person looking at your application was a particularly unreasonable individual, with your MA, Module 2 should be more than enough. It would seem to rather defeat the purpose of it being modular otherwise. It's a qualification in its own right. An MA such as yours or TESOL/applied linguistics plus M2 is probably the optimal combination of qualifications.
