The world authority in tea education

Where every tea expert begins

If you are curious about tea, just starting to work with tea, or building on years of experience, we have flexible learning designed to help you achieve your ambition.

Our Tea Essentials Award is the perfect introduction – accessible, comprehensive and engaging. It might be all you need, or it could be the first step towards more advanced, professional qualifications.

Real-world expertise.    Accredited qualifications.   Global recognition.

Enjoy Flexible Online Learning

All UKTA qualifications are made up of units. You can buy the units one at a time or go straight to the whole qualification you want to achieve. You can start at any time, set your own pace and book onto a Live Tasting Tutorial when it suits you. Every unit counts towards a qualification, so all your learning adds up. 

Achieve a Meaningful Qualification

UKTA qualifications are accredited by Open College Network – London, which is a UK government approved national acccreditation body. This makes us a world first in externally endorsed tea qualifications which have meaningful recognition in the worldwide tea and hospitality industry.
