IELTS Intensive

Please check COURSE INFORMATION to see if the dates, level and number of weeks are right for you.

What IELTS score do you need to go university? When do you need your IELTS result?

This course is in July and August because most students want to go to university in September or October.

This is one of the most important exams you will take in your life because it is about your future.
Universities and colleges use IELTS (International English Language Testing System) to determine the English level of non-native speakers before they begin a course. There is no pass or fail but a scoring system from 0 - 9. Generally, students are asked to achieve a score of 5.5 - 7.5 but this depends on the course you intend to study. It is possible to sit the exam any week but we will need to book your place at least 4 weeks in advance.

To do well in IELTS you need to be good at General and Academic English - this is why our courses combine both areas. You will study three hours per day General English (to improve your level) and one and a half hours per day IELTS (concentrating on the techniques needed to pass the exam with a good score).

The IELTS part of the course will concentrate on the demands of academic reading and writing as well as the speaking and listening parts of the test. Our experienced teachers will help you to plan a self-study programme to go with the course.
