IELTS (International English Language Test System)

The IELTS Course is an exam preparation programme raising awareness of and providing practice in the International English Language Test System exam (IELTS). Students study in small groups where they are guided towards improved test taking strategies. Test features are practiced regularly throughout the course. IELTS examination scores are recognised by British and international universities and colleges as a standard for entry onto English medium courses. Students should already be at least intermediate level to start on this course. The exam has four components (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking). All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking exams, but have a choice of Writing and Reading papers. The Academic Reading and Writing papers are for those who wish to pursue a degree course at an educational institute. Alternatively, candidates may select the General Training Reading and Writing modules which are aimed at students going to an English speaking country for the purposes of work experience, vocational training or to take a non-degree level course.
