SEPTT

Following the meeting held with ELT Schools on the 10 April and feedback received, the ELT Council is implementing the following procedural changes as of Monday 20th May 2019:

---

Prospective teachers in possession of the following qualifications will be exempted from sitting for the SEPTT exam, provided that all other requirements are met:
– Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Cambridge DELTA or Trinity DipTESOL)
– Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics and Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (MA. TESOL)
– Master in Teaching and Learning (MTL) in English 

---

All other prospective teachers in possession of all ELT permit requirements as per legal notice applying for a new permit, will be granted a temporary teaching permit valid for 3 months. Holders of this temporary permit will have 3 months to achieve a pass in SEPTT to be awarded the ELT permit. The temporary permit cannot be extended and no teacher in possession of the temporary permit is allowed to teach past the permit letter validity date until a pass in SEPTT and the regular ELT permit is obtained. 

Please note that since SEPTT is not during ELT Council office opening hours, we have created a SEPTT mobile number on which applicants can contact us in case of any last-minute emergencies. Kindly call us on +35699255188. For anything else, kindly use our usual telephone lines: 2598241/1242/1243/1244
