About Tika.Education

Tbilisi Institute of Knowledge and Assessment (TIKA) is a Tbilisi‑based educational assessment institute dedicated to raising the bar for English language testing and broader academic evaluation across Georgia and the wider Caucasus. We bridge learners, institutions, and global recognition frameworks so that every result is fair, meaningful, and useful in the real world.

Mission

To elevate language standards and assessment integrity across Georgia and the Caucasus. We exist to ensure that every candidate—local or international—can demonstrate their abilities through assessments that are rigorous, secure, and clearly understood by schools, universities, and employers.

Quality & governance

Methodologies inspired by UK/international awarding practices; fairness, validity, reliability.
We align outcomes to internationally understood frameworks such as CEFR (A1–C2) and maintain internal moderation and review cycles to keep our assessments current and defensible.

Our approach is inspired by trusted methodologies used by UK and international awarding bodies. Quality at TIKA rests on five pillars:

1. Fairness

Clear criteria, accessible guidance, and reasoned decisions.

2. Validity & Reliability

Evidence‑based design, piloting, and standard setting to ensure results mean what they claim to mean—consistently.

3. Security & Integrity

Rigorous ID checks, controlled test conditions, trained personnel, and robust malpractice procedures.

4. Data Protection

Candidate‑friendly score reports, straightforward policies (appeals, refunds, accessibility), and strong data governance.

5. Accessibility & Inclusion

Reasonable adjustments and candidate support processes that enable equitable participation.
