Professional Key Skills Test
Students applying for Initial Teacher Education courses need to be aware of Government regulations regarding mandatory skills tests in literacy and numeracy. These skills tests need to be completed prior to enrolling on the course and deadlines for these to be achieved tend to be stipulated by universities, e.g. 30th June 2017. The skills tests do not replace the standard GCSE grade C requirements in Maths and English.
Candidates will receive one free test and two resit opportunities which will need to be self-funded. If candidates fail three tests, resits will not be allowed within a 24-month period. The skills tests are computerised and can be taken at any of a number of learndirect test centres throughout the UK. The Department for Education has developed guidance and support materials to help candidates pass the tests: candidates are strongly advised to review the support material before attempting the skills tests.
Tests can be booked via the skills test registration page at:

Or by telephoning learndirect on 0300 303 9613, Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm
