TESOL TKT Course

The TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test) is a qualification from Cambridge ESOL. It is for people who want to teach English and develop the knowledge they need to become English teachers. It is also ideal for non-native English speakers who are already teaching English, and who would like to improve their knowledge. There is also the TKT Practical for people who want a certificate for their teaching skills.

Our TESOL TKT course gives you the opportunity to develop your teaching knowledge and to practise teaching skills. You receive a CCEL TESOL certificate and report. You also take the TKT test, and you can choose to do the TKT Practical as well, both of which are internationally recognised.
