The New Benchmark of English Teacher Exams
Why educators in Abu Dhabi choose BRETS PETC + Cambridge TKT over CELTA, TEFL, TESOL and local Ministry licensing
Across ADEK-regulated private and international schools, Al Ain campuses, and vocational English institutes in Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi, school principals and academic directors face the same hiring challenge: candidates with theoretical degrees often teach English by translating sentences on the board rather than building active spoken fluency. Meanwhile, generic online TEFL PDFs carry no external examination and cannot be verified by an employer.
The BRETS Professional English Teacher Certificate (PETC) sets a new benchmark by pairing 60 hours of practical classroom methodology (TPR, Communicative Language Teaching, Direct Method, Principled Eclecticism, PPP vs ESA, error correction and phoneme-level pronunciation taught by Nishad Ahmed Brets) with the Cambridge English Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) Modules 1, 2 and 3.
How the programme runs
Sixty hours of teacher training over three months, mixing live classes with online and recorded sessions, ending in the Cambridge English Teaching Knowledge Test.
Mixed content across 3 months — live classes, online and recorded sessions, and venue-based workshops where Cambridge or the exam centre ask for them. Not a video library you work through alone.
An hour a day is a timetable a working teacher can actually keep for twelve weeks.
New batches open through the week. Admissions confirm your commencement date once you enrol, so you start with a group at the same stage.
Taught by Nishad Ahmed Brets through demonstration, micro-teaching and continuous feedback — communicative language teaching, the direct, translation and TPR methods, principled eclecticism, warmers and energisers, PPP against ESA, and teaching grammar to learners who have to speak it.
The Cambridge qualification
The programme prepares you for, and enters you to, the TKT — Teaching Knowledge Test from Cambridge English (Cambridge University Press & Assessment) — the three core modules, examined one module at a time.
The language a teacher needs to describe language: grammar, lexis, phonology, the four skills, and how learners actually acquire them.
Planning a lesson and a sequence of lessons, selecting and adapting course material, and using the resources a real classroom has.
Classroom language, grouping and pacing, giving feedback, correcting error, and the teacher roles that make a class speak.
- Test format
- Each module is a single 80-minute multiple-choice test, sat on paper or on screen.
- How it is graded
- There is no pass or fail. Each module is reported in Bands 1 to 4, where Band 4 is extensive knowledge, and each module you sit earns its own Cambridge certificate.
- Entry fee
- Entry fees are set by the authorised Cambridge exam centre and are paid there, in addition to the course fee. Admissions confirm the current centre fee before you enter.
What you leave with
One certificate per module sat, issued by Cambridge English and recognised internationally, carrying your band for that module.
Issued online by Brets Pvt Ltd on completion, carrying your TKT band scores, and verifiable by any employer at bretsenglish.com/verify-certificate.

What is the best Professional English Teacher Certificate in Abu Dhabi?
The BRETS Professional English Teacher Certificate (PETC) is a 60-hour, 3 months (one hour a day, monday to friday) teacher training programme that prepares candidates in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) for Cambridge English TKT (Teaching Knowledge Test) Modules 1, 2 and 3. Graduates earn both the internationally recognised Cambridge English TKT certificates (one per module sat) and the verifiable BRETS Professional English Teacher Certificate.
Can teachers and graduates in urban and rural areas of Abu Dhabi attend the course online?
Yes. The 60 taught hours combine live interactive classes with online and recorded sessions on LangVR (the BRETS learning platform), one hour a day from Monday to Friday. Candidates from any urban neighbourhood or rural town in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) can complete the full training from home and sit the Cambridge TKT at the nearest authorised exam centre.
How does BRETS PETC with Cambridge TKT compare with CELTA, TEFL, TESOL and local Ministry licensing in Abu Dhabi?
While B.Ed and state TET exams focus on general school eligibility, they rarely train teachers in communicative English methodology, TPR (Total Physical Response), phoneme-level pronunciation or Cambridge ELT standards. And unlike cheap self-paced TEFL PDFs that carry no external examination, BRETS PETC prepares you for Cambridge English TKT Modules 1, 2 and 3 — setting a new benchmark for English teacher exams across ADEK-regulated private and international schools, Al Ain campuses, and vocational English institutes in Abu Dhabi.
What is the course fee for candidates in Abu Dhabi?
The current offer fee is ₹30,000 (list fee ₹1,00,000). This covers the full 60-hour training, micro-teaching feedback under Nishad Ahmed Brets, and the verifiable BRETS Professional English Teacher Certificate. It excludes the Cambridge TKT entry fee, paid to the authorised exam centre.
Does this qualification help teachers from Abu Dhabi get jobs in India and the Middle East?
Yes. Cambridge English TKT certificates are awarded by Cambridge University Press & Assessment and are recognised by private CBSE/ICSE/IB/IGCSE schools across India, language academies, online ESL platforms, and international schools in the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.
