RE: Is a DELTA certificate considered the same level as a BA degree?
Is a DELTA certificate considered the same level as a BA degree?
No, a DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate and a BA (Bachelor of Arts) degree are not considered at the same level.
A DELTA certificate is considered to be a professional English language teaching qualification, and is one level below a Master's degree on the UK's National Qualifications Framework (NQF). On the other hand, a BA degree is an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a course or program usually in the arts and social sciences.
They have different purposes and targets: A BA degree is usually broader and provides a wider scope of knowledge, while a DELTA certificate is more specific, focusing on teaching English to speakers of other languages. It essentially depends on what the individual is looking to achieve.
