What is TKT?

Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) is a flexible assessment for teachers and has been developed to give teachers a strong foundation in the core areas of teaching knowledge needed in the language teaching classroom. Preparing for TKT will generally help teachers grow in confidence as well as give them the knowledge and skills that will help develop their career.

It is divided into 3 separate modules

TKT: Module 1 – Background to language teaching

TKT: Module 2 – Planning for language teaching

TKT: Module 3 – Classroom Management

Who is TKT for?

TKT is specially developed for those who:

Are already teaching, but would like to take an internationally recognized qualification to gain formal recognition for their experience
Want to enhance their career opportunities by broadening their teaching experience into specialist areas
Want to keep their teaching skills up to date.

Further information about TKT is available at Cambridge ESOL Website

Regular TKT Assessment

The regular TKT assessment is modular and flexible, allowing teachers to fit their studies around their work and other commitments. Candidates can register for any module of their choice or all three at once. They can take the modules over a period of time that suits their needs and certificates are issued for each module assessment completed.

The test can be taken at any stage in a teacher’s career and is designed to be relevant to:

Pre-service teachers
Teachers who wish to refresh their teaching knowledge
Teachers who are moving to English language teaching after teaching another subject
Teachers who have some experience of teaching English to speakers of other languages.
Teachers who wish to formalise their knowledge by undertaking a Cambridge certificate course
