Professionalism in teaching is one of the key factors in the success of an English education program. To keep the teachers‟ professionalism, a refresher program is needed to be conducted to improve teachers‟ competence. To map out the area of teachers‟ competence which should be refreshed, a diagnostic test needs designing. After a diagnostic test has been made, the implementation should also be well-conducted to get the representative result. Therefore, this study aims to design an alternative implementation model of a diagnostic test for English teacher. The questionnaire and focus group discussion results show that the proposed model is an appropriate diagnostic test implementation model for teachers.
