| IELTS PREPARATION COURSES AT THE BRITISH COUNCIL |
Our IELTS Preparation courses are aimed at those taking the IELTS exam in the near future. Taught by experienced IELTS teachers and created by the developers of the exam, the courses provide a thorough introduction to the test.
We offer three course formats to suit your particular needs:
START (1 day: 10 hours)
This course enables you to take an authentic mock test, to give you an accurate idea of your potential in the real test, get detailed feedback and personalised advice on how to improve your performance.
INTENSIVE (2 days: 20 hours)
For those who want a thorough introduction to the exam in a short period of time.
MODULAR (6+6+8+8 (=28) hours)
For those who want more flexibility in their preparation. You can register for a whole course or for individual modules; should you just want to concentrate on specific exam skills related to Speaking, Reading & Listening and Writing.
