Face-to-face
Your teaching practice will be in a classroom with groups of learners and observed by your trainer. Your training sessions will be face-to-face or a combination with online study.
It’s especially suitable if you prefer studying face-to-face, if you only want to teach face-to-face classes, or if you want to travel to take your DELTA in a particular place.
Online

It’s particularly useful if you want the flexibility of online study, if you want to limit travel costs, or if you plan to teach English online as you’ll learn more about the digital tools needed.
Combination
Your training may be online, face-to-face or a blend of online and face-to-face.
