	Teaching Knowledge Test

The British Council offers current and future English language teachers and lecturers the exclusive chance to gain Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) certificate by University of Cambridge, which aims to increase teachers' confidence and enhance job prospects by focusing on the core teaching knowledge needed by teachers of primary, secondary or adult learners, anywhere in the world. This certificate gives teachers a qualification recognised internationally by a number of organisations, universities, colleges and many other institutions.

TKT gives teachers a strong foundation in the core areas of teaching knowledge needed in the English language teaching classroom. It is ideal for all teachers, whatever their background and teaching experience, and is also suitable for people who would like to teach English but do not yet have a teaching position.

There are no formal entry requirements. However, anyone wishing to take TKT is strongly advised to have at least an intermediate level of English — Level B1 of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) — e.g. PET, IELTS band score of 4- 5.

The TKT certificate will help you demonstrate knowledge of:

			different methodologies for teaching
			the 'language of teaching'
			the ways in which resources can be used
			the key aspects of lesson planning
			classroom management methods for different needs.
