If I did a delta how much would it cost? Does one need to do the Celta first? Does the Delta pave the way for better jobs with higher wages. I see that ILa offers it in Vietnam , is there any other places to do it?

Hi DD
From what I gather there aren't too many places in Korea where the Delta would make any difference but virtually anywhere else it'll get you higher paid better jobs in TEFL and is pretty much essential to get into decent management jobs or teacher training. |

The idiom is 'pave the way'. Or is this a new one I've never heard before? |

Would certainly improve your teaching ability, but of virtually of no use in Korea, other than at the few places that are somehow related to the Delta.
A Delta is not bad. You'd just need to find a country where people care about it, basically -- and that's going to be something leaning toward the British system. |

You could teach CELTA!
Might be useful in Europe or the Middle East. I wouldn't think many Koreans know what it is. |

You'd be surprised. More and more people are beginning to know about CELTA in Korea and lots of good universities here know that it's a good qualification. |

| If you want to work at univeristies in Europe it will be invaluable. Most DOS jobs require a DELTA or a Trinity Diploma. Furthermore, The British Council give priority to teahcers with the Delta when they are recruiting. If you want to know where to do the DELTA check out International House website. They run a program in Madrid starting in May or April and also ones in Seville, Rome, Lisbon and other countires where they have centres. I'll be doing the Delta in Seville next summer hopefully. |

Nothing wrong with it. It's just not something that would get you a university job over an MA. Even the Delta is only considered equal to half of an MA, per the Cambridge website.
Wouldn't hurt to have one. Both the CELTA and DELTA are a considerable investment, however. If you only plan on teaching in Korea (and returning home to another life), I'd have to question the excessive cost involved in obtaining either the CELTA or the DELTA. |
