Teaching Knowledge Test
Practical
TKT: Practical is an accessible and affordable way for you to get certification of your teaching abilities. It is ideal if you have developed your skills and need formal confirmation of your practical teaching competence.
You may wish to take TKT: Practical as part of a professional development course, but this is not a requirement.
What does TKT: Practical test?
TKT: Practical includes assessment of:
1. lesson planning
2. classroom management
3. teaching skills
The test
The test consists of the observation of your teaching by a Cambridge ESOL assessor. The assessor can observe either one 40-minute lesson or two 20-minute lessons, of which one can be peer-to-peer teaching. The test can take place as part of a teacher training or teacher development course. Alternatively, if you are already teaching, the test can take place with your own class by arrangement with a TKT centre.
You will also be required to complete a lesson plan for assessment. The template will be provided by Cambridge ESOL.
