Train for your IELTS and take that next step in your career

IELTS is an internationally recognised qualification that allows students to demonstrate their language level to universities. It is accepted by many schools, companies, and governments. It can help you study or work in an English-speaking country or get a visa.

This course focuses on preparing you for the exam and developing the skills and techniques needed to achieve a high score. We will design a personal study plan for you – based on your goals, language level, and timeline.

IELTS Exam Preparation is a customisable course. It has a weekly enrolment so you can choose how long you study, and our afternoon modules let you choose between 15, 20 or 25 hours of study per week.
