HOW DO I REGISTER?

Step 1: Collect a TKT application form from one of our exam centres in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt.

You will need to bring along with you two current passport sized photographs, a valid international passport (original only, no other form of ID is acceptable) and a photocopy of the information page(s) of your international passport.

Step 2: Fill in your details, sign and submit the application form to one of the exam centre staff.

Please note: 

On the exam day your original international passport must match the copy attached to the completed application form.
No PO Box/PMB/agent and/or international addresses will be accepted as correspondence addresses. Please write your address clearly.
Application forms may not be taken away from the British Council office, and candidates must sign their application form in person. No other person may sign on behalf of the candidate. Signing on behalf of a candidate will lead to automatic disqualification.
If your family name has been changed because of a recent marriage, the name change must be entered in your international passport, or otherwise you can register in your maiden name. No other form of evidence is acceptable in the case of a name change.

Step 3: Pay the exam fee.

Payment is made by bank draft, drawn from any of the existing Nigerian banks, payable to British Council.
Please note that your application will not be processed until payment has been received.

Step 4: Confirmation

After you have registered, you will be notified of the exam date six weeks before the time.
