TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test)

TKT is an international professional exam for English language teachers that provides an opportunity to gain international recognition as an English language teacher.

Benefits of Obtaining a TKT Certificate:

• Gaining international recognition as an English language teacher from Cambridge English
• Opportunity to widely apply acquired knowledge in professional activities

As for us, 👩‍🎓foreign language teachers👨‍🎓, I believe that international independent certification is simply necessary.

In this regard, I would like to tell you more about the international professional exam for teachers: TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test)🏫

Personally, I believe that every foreign language teacher continuously strives to improve their knowledge, as teaching cannot be effective and productive if the teacher doesn't keep up with the times.

TKT provides an opportunity to gain international recognition as an English language teacher, is an accessible test, and meets international standards of theoretical knowledge for professional English language teachers.

Why it's needed:

1) Gaining international recognition as an English language teacher from Cambridge English;

2) The acquired knowledge can and should be widely used in professional activities;

3) Motivation and focus on further professional development
