Last verified: 20 October 2026. Our source is the Professional License Test for Educational Professions page on the Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC) website; dates can change, so check it before you act. This guide is independent: it is not affiliated with ETEC, Qiyas (the National Center for Assessment), the Ministry of Education or any government body.

In short: the General Educational Test of the Teachers' Professional License for the 1448 AH round is on Friday and Saturday, 6 and 7 November 2026, and late registration has been open since 4 October 2026. The subject-specific test runs from 18 to 31 October 2026.

General Educational Test dates (November 2026)

ETEC splits candidates into three groups, each with its own registration opening day for men and for women; the test date and the start of late registration are the same for everyone:

Group (as ETEC names it)Registration opens (men)Registration opens (women)Late registration fromTest date
Teachers currently in service3 August 202610 August 20264 October 20266–7 November 2026
Candidates who did not pass the General Educational Test5 August 202612 August 20264 October 20266–7 November 2026
Everyone9 August 202616 August 20264 October 20266–7 November 2026

ETEC's table has a typo in the row for candidates who did not pass: the women's opening date reads "12/08/2025". It means 2026, since the rest of the table is for the 2026 round.

The subject-specific test

The license is only issued once you pass both tests, and in this round the subject-specific test comes before the General Educational Test:

ItemDate
Subject-specific test18 to 31 October 2026
Registration opens (teachers in service)3 August 2026 for men, 10 August 2026 for women
Registration opens (did not pass the subject test)5 August 2026 for men, 12 August 2026 for women
Registration opens (everyone)9 August 2026 for men, 16 August 2026 for women
Late registration from27 September 2026

Registering and paying

The fee is SAR 100 per test. After paying you can change or delete your booking up to 72 hours before a paper test, and an unpaid test is deleted from your profile automatically. So register early and do not leave payment to the last day.

How many days are left?

From 20 October 2026 to 6 November 2026 is seventeen days. If you are reading this in late October you have less than three weeks, which is enough for focused revision if you start with the standards that carry the most weight. We set that out day by day in the General Educational Test study plan by days remaining, and you can start now with the free questions in the practice test to see where you stand.

If you do not pass

ETEC's date table has a separate row for candidates who did not pass the General Educational Test, so anyone who fails a round can register for later ones.
