The ELT Council has designed its own proficiency examination for would-be ELT teachers in order to provide them with the minimum language proficiency certification. This examination is upgraded on a regular basis. All TELT sessions taking place as of 2017 will only have a written component.

SEPTT will replace TELT Oral component and is a requirement for all applicants applying for a New ELT Permit. More details about SEPTT may be found in the SEPTT section.
