The official dates for the much-anticipated 2025 Ghana Teacher Licensure Examination (GTLE) have been confirmed, alongside details of a new examination format. According to a press release from the Teacher Trainees’ Association of Ghana (TTAG) sighted by BECEPrep on August 25, 2025, the schedule was finalized after comprehensive consultations between the Ministry of Education and the National Teaching Council (NTC). The release confirms that first-time candidates, including all Level 400 students, will write their examination from Monday, 13th to Wednesday, 15th October 2025. A tentative schedule has also been set for re-sitters, who will write from Monday, 27th to Tuesday, 28th October 2025. All candidates are urged to take note of these crucial dates and the updated procedures that will govern the 2025 examination.

Confirmed GTLE 2025 Schedule for the exam

Two GTLE 2025 exam dates have been confirmed. One for new candidates and the other for those who will resit the exam.

  1. Level 400 (First-time candidates): Monday, 13th – Wednesday, 15th October 2025
  2. Resitters: Monday, 27th – Tuesday, 28th October 2025 (tentative)

Examination Fee

A fee of GH¢ 450.00 will be paid by each candidate for the exam.
The Indexing Fee is also GH¢ 50.00

The letter further disclosed that the NTC will publish the guidelines for the examination later. The guidelines will cover areas such as the registration, structure, and exam procedures.

The 2025 GTLE is to be conducted under the new and revised format which aims at enhancing efficiency, credibility, and better alignment of the examination with modern teacher education standards, the statement added.

To keep all potential candidates up to date, the NTC is expected to organise Zoom engagement sessions through TTAG’s administrative sectors to provide orientation and answer questions on the new arrangements.

“All affected candidates are advised to take note of these directives, prepare adequately, and follow official updates keenly,” the statement read.

The difference between the old and new GTLE exam

Who qualifies to write the exam?
Under the old GTLE, writing the exam was permitted for candidates 1 year after completion of training.
The new GTLE has been integrated into the final-year examination of the teacher training institutions.
What is the exam centre?
With the old GTLE structure, candidates were not permitted to write in their college or institution of training.
With the new GTLE, all candidates are permitted to write in their colleges or institutions of training.
Practical Component
No practical or teaching practice component formed part of pedagogy scores under the old GTLE. The pedagogy questions were scored out of 100%.
With the new one, practical or teaching practice forms part of the pedagogy scores. The teaching practice takes 30% of the total scores, while the theoretical pedagogy paper takes 70% of the total scores.
TTAG reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with both the NTC and the Ministry of Education to ensure that the interests of all teacher trainees across the country are protected and promoted.
