Course Structure
The course provides comprehensive preparation for the IELTS exam through two daily morning classes that cover key areas of academic English. Students will begin by familiarising themselves with the exam’s structure and assessment criteria, gaining the tools needed for confident, successful test-taking. Students reinforce their learning in the afternoon and prepare to take the exam at the end of the course; or at a future date of their choosing. Sessions are designed to develop the specific skills needed to excel in the Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking sections of the exam. We also offer strategies for time management, critical thinking, and handling different question types, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to tackle the unique challenges of each section.
