Frequently asked questions
What is the TLS pedagogy exam?
The Teacher Licensing System (TLS) is the UAE's licensing system for teachers and school leaders, run by the Ministry of Education (MoE). To be licensed, a teacher takes two tests: a pedagogy test on professional teaching knowledge, and a subject test in the subject they teach. This product prepares you for the pedagogy test.
Who has to take it?
Teachers and principals working in UAE public and private schools are required to hold a TLS educational professions licence. If you are applying for a teaching job in the UAE, or already teaching in the UAE and completing your licensing, the pedagogy test applies to you.
What is the exam format?
Based on MoE guidance and candidate reports, the pedagogy test is reported to consist of 80 multiple-choice questions taken on a computer in 2 hours — about 1.5 minutes per question, with scenario-based questions and one best answer each. Formats can change, so always confirm the current details in your official MoE registration. The licence is valid for 3 years and then renewed.
What does this product include?
1,000 scenario-based pedagogy practice questions across the 10 professional-standard domains, each with a full rationale and an explanation of why every wrong option is wrong; untimed practice by domain; full 80-question / 120-minute timed mock exams with per-domain score reports; and a free 10-question mini-test on the home page.
How much does it cost and how do I pay?
Full access is a one-time $29 payment for 3 months of access, paid securely through Stripe. After payment, your personal access code is emailed to you — enter it once on the practice page and this device stays unlocked.
What is the refund policy?
If the product is not right for you, email us within 7 days of purchase for a full refund — no forms, no questions beyond what helps us improve.
What can I use for free?
The 10-question timed mini-test on the home page, one sample question on each of the 10 domain pages, and your first 30 practice questions in the practice engine are all free — no account and no card required.
Is this affiliated with the MoE?
No. This is an independent preparation product. It is built from the published UAE teacher professional standards and MoE study guidance, but it is not produced, endorsed or affiliated with the UAE Ministry of Education, and it does not contain actual exam questions.
Who made the questions?
The question bank was built from the official UAE teacher professional standards and study guides and reviewed by Mr. Martinez, a Florida-certified teacher with 19 years of classroom experience. Every question went through an answer-key verification pass so the explanation always matches the marked answer.
Will this guarantee I pass?
No — and be wary of any product that promises that. What we can promise is honest, exam-style rehearsal: the right format, the right pace, the right content areas, and an explanation for every single answer.
