I noticed that the Trinity LTCL Diploma in TESOL only requires a previous degree and at least two years of full time teaching experience.

I'm considering taking an authorized distance course sanctioned by Trinity to help prepare candidates to take their examinations, which I'd take in the summer or fall of 2006, depending on the pace of my preparation.

Anyone else thinking of doing it too?

Having recently finished the CELTA I'm enjoying the benefits of infusing the methodology I've learned into my teaching, and have been accessing secondary literature, which has also helped, and is drawing me further into the field.

I don't want to wait the two years required post-CELTA to take the DELTA, so the Trinity is the equally respected next best option. It'll open doors to director of studies positions long term and qualify one to work at top institutes worldwide (the good paying, well organized ones).

And the Trinity (unlike the DELTA) allows one to focus on young learners for at least half of one's studies if one wants, and has a reputation for being more practical in orientation, though easier to pass.

I would do the DELTA if I wasn't going to do a Masters pretty soon. If I had the option I'd take the DELTA before or instead of doing the Masters but as far as I can see they want you to do a 2 week seminar in Japan to do the distance version.
