TKT is an English teaching ability certificate developed for primary and secondary school or adult English teachers whose mother tongue is not English. It mainly tests the examinee's mastery of the basic concepts of language and language application, as well as the background knowledge and practical process of teaching and learning. The certificate has international standards, and candidates can further enrich their teaching professional knowledge and expand their career development prospects.

Application conditions:

1. Candidates who take TKT should have intermediate English level, such as PET (Elementary English Test), IELTS 4, or B2 equivalent to the European language teaching reference standard; However, TKT does not require candidates to hold a certain language qualification certificate.

2. Candidates who take the TKT exam should have some teaching experience, but this is not absolute. Candidates who have no teaching experience, in-service English teachers who want to further enrich and update their teaching knowledge, or teachers who want to switch to teaching English from other disciplines can take the TKT exam.

3. Some test sites may provide training courses for preparing for TKT.
