IELTS Preparation Courses and Training

The IELTS Test

Candidates receive their scores within two weeks, giving them a band score of between 1 (no language ability) to 9 (native-speaker level language ability). Generally speaking, most universities require a score of 6 or 7 to enter their programmes, depending on the university and the degree or postgraduate program the student is applying for.

Students wishing to enroll at universities take the academic module of the IELTS test, while there is also a 'General Training' module of the test (with simplified reading and writing sections) which is often taken by candidates wishing to join an overseas high school, or for migration purposes. Summary While the importance of the IELTS test and IELTS preparation courses are sometimes misinterpreted or overvalued, it is clear that an internationally recognised, standardised test of English is a necessity. IELTS opens the doors to international study opportunities and eventually global job opportunities to students from all over the world.

Why should I do an IELTS Preparation Course?

Many IELTS candidates do not get the band score that they should because they are not familiar with the IELTS Test format. IELTS Preparation Courses at ITS tutorial school are designed to give candidates:

• A very good understanding of the IELTS Test
• Practice in the 4 parts of the Test: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking
• A "mock" (practice) test under examination conditions
• Practice in the kind of questions they will have to answer in the exams
• Advice in how to improve their exam technique
• Constructive feedback to increase their chances of success
