Hi All,

I have an RSA DTEFLA which I gained in 1998. Is this still of any value? I have not taught for over 4 years...

Maybe I should put it on Ebay - what do you think?!

Why should it have lost its value.

You should be able to get a Degree out of it with 2 years of Uni. Some places will still hire you with a diploma.

If you're wondering if employers will still accept a DELTA from 1998, I see absolutely no reason why not. My CELTA is from the mid 90s and nobody has ever questioned it. It is true that the DELTA has changed somewhat in recent years, but this should in no way alter the validity of your qualification.

Anyway, 1998 is only a few years ago!

I got my RSA CTEFLA, now known as the CELTA, back in 1993. Still works a charm, well, at least outside the USA.

I got my RSA Dip in 1988, and it's got me a lot of good jobs...
