  • Where can I take the exam?

    The exam is onsite and takes place twice year, in June and December.  We have a unique arrangement with Cambridge where our candidates can sit their Module 1 exam in any approved local Cambridge centre in the world. You’ll have to find a Cambridge exam centre near you closer to the date. There’s a list of centres on the Cambridge English website: https://www.cambridgeenglish.org/find-a-centre/find-an-exam-centre/

    You will also have to pay the exam centre a hosting/invigilation fee. This fee varies depending on the centre – you’ll need to contact them directly.

    The Distance DELTA team will support you in arranging your exam centre.
