Does anyone know if it's possible to do a distance or part-time DELTA in Japan? I checked the British Council website, but things didn't look very promising.

If you're doing a distance DELTA, why should it matter what country you are doing it in? Japan or Uzbekistan are both OK. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to have a qualified supervisor observe you and do write ups on you. It looks like a lot of work on the observor's part which may make it difficult to find the right person.

You can do a TESOL with Vancouver Community College by distance. Hope the link to the distance DELTA course works OK. (I'm an idiot when it comes to posting links.)

I'm familiar with the one month intensive CELTA courses and the TEFL courses. What is the DELTA course?

Delta: The Diploma of English Language Teaching To Adults.

A post Celta qualification often seen as the next step for EFL teachers with a couple of years experience wishing to broaden and/or deepen their skills in the area of EFL teaching, to move into the areas of Teacher Training or Head Teacher/Director of Studies, to improve their qualifications or to obtain a public school or tertiary level position.
