Orientation Courses

Attendance at a 2-week face-to-face Orientation Course is compulsory for the Integrated Programme and Module 2 course only. As well as following up work done on the Pre-course Task it provides a sound grounding in the skills of analysing, planning and reflecting objectively on your own teaching. Unit 1 of both programmes, including work on your first Module 2 assignment, is completed during the Orientation Course. The Cambridge requirement for 10 hours of peer observation is also covered on the course.

As a distance learner, it is important that you make contact with others who are following the same programme so that you can share ideas and opinions. The Orientation Course is an important step towards becoming part of the Distance Delta learning community.

Orientation Courses run twice a year in March/April and August/September in International House London and our selected regional centres around the world. When completing the Integrated Programme or Module 2 application, you will be able to select your preferred available location.
