Approach and methodology
- Our exam preparation courses aim to maximise performance in the exam by familiarising participants with the format of the exam, as well as developing essential exam skills through strategy training and practice activities
- We concentrate on developing the underlying competencies required for successful study. The themes and texts chosen complement the learning process by providing opportunities for increasing cultural awareness
- We dedicate time to practising the skills acquired, to ironing out any language problems and filling any basic gaps in the student's knowledge of the language and culture.

IELTS preparation courses are currently on offer in our Lisbon centre. These courses are designed for those students who are intending to take the IELTS exam (academic module) because they are intending to pursue studies in the UK or another English speaking country.
Candidates for both courses should be of intermediate level. However, we recommend that the earlier you begin to prepare for your future studies the better
We offer two modes of study: a 15-hour intensive course, and a 30-hour course over a longer period of time.
