Our IELTS courses are taught by experienced teachers, using course books and supplementary material. Students will be required to take regular practice exams as part of their training.

Please be aware that our IELTS preparation courses are exam focussed and are therefore aimed at improving students' exam technique and becoming familiar with the format of the IELTS exam. You should not take one of these courses if you are looking at improving your General English for everyday use and do not want to take the exam. Please ask us for information about our General English courses.
