Who is the Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) for?
Anglo-Continental has developed 2 to 4 week courses preparing candidates for the University of Cambridge’s TKT to develop the knowledge and teaching skills of people who teach English to primary, secondary and adult learners, and also people who are interested in teaching as a career. This qualification will help you to understand:

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

Each module consists of 80 objective, multiple choice questions and takes 80 minutes to complete.
