Exam Preparation - IELTS


What is IELTS?

The IELTS exam is a popular exam for those requiring entry to higher education in the UK and other English speaking countries. Most universities require a 6.0 score for entry into their higher education programmes. Click here for an external link to the official IELTS website.


Our Course

We offer two courses in IELTS exam preparation, one with an entry level of 5.0  and one 5.5. Each course is designed to increase your score by at least 0.5. This is a very intensive course and requires a great deal of dedication from our students - but the results are worth it. Some students have managed to increase their score by 1.0 in six weeks, but at this level it is very difficult to do this. 


Our Testing

It is important that you have a sufficient level of English at the start of the course, and so we ask that you complete an online test as a basic assessment of your abilities. We also ask that we may interview you over the telephone for a period of ten minutes to assess your English speaking abilities. Don't worry - this is for your own benefit!


The Road to Success

It is important to us that you succeed and attain the score you are aiming for. We provide extensive support, including weekly one-to-one lessons and guided self-study sessions, but we also want you to relax and enjoy England whilst you are staying with us. We offer a minimum of two afternoon excursions per week, one full day trip, and evening activities so that you can make the most of your stay in England.


The Exam

At the end of each course we arrange your IELTS exam at a local test centre, and provide transport to and from the centre. The cost of the exam is not included in the course fee. The IELTS exam currently costs £100.
