What is IELTS ?
IELTS is The International English Language Testing System. It is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is the language of communication.
Why would IELTS be useful for me?
If you want to go to university in the UK, Australia, Canada or New Zealand, an IELTS score is recognised as an entry requirement. Many of our students are pre-graduates who need to meet these requirements in order to be accepted for a Foundation year at the University of Leeds or other university programmes. It will also prove useful if you are an international student who wants to improve your English and would like to work towards a certificate, if you are a doctor or nurse hoping to work in the UK, or if you want to move to live in the UK from abroad. Many employers recognise an IELTS score as a valid assessment of the candidate's language ability. It is also recognised by professional bodies, immigration authorities and other government agencies.
If you would like to apply to study at a British University please ask one of our careers advisors for more information. They will guide you through your application and will be happy to introduce you to the University of Leeds or Leeds Metropolitan University, both of which are close to NSL. Alternatively, you will find information about many universities in our careers library.
What does an IELTS preparation course include?

The course entails 21 hours tuition (IELTS focussed) plus extra self-study as required.
At The Northern School of Languages we firmly believe that to prepare effectively for the IELTS test you should follow a structured course with an experienced teacher, either in a group class or privately. General English language practice and self-study should be combined with a specialised IELTS course to achieve the best possible result.
