IELTS PREPARATION


CRICOS Course Code: 068744J

Does your future plan require a certain IELTS score? Do you need a serious approach to improving your writing and reading skills, but you think exam preparation courses can be boring and too serious? Learn from our experts – you will never have time to get bored, but you will learn fast. Our experienced and passionate teachers lead dynamic and interactive classes. The IELTS test is one of the world’s most popular English language tests for those preparing for further study or migration to English-speaking countries. In the IELTS Preparation course, you will gain complete knowledge of how the test works and what strategies you need to tackle each question type.


WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

The IELTS Preparation course is designed for students who want to familiarise themselves with each component of the IELTS test and become test-ready. This course is also perfect for students who want to focus on improving academic literacy, or who want a more intensive course than General English. AT CTIC we prepare students for both the Academic Module (AC) or General Training (GT) Module of the test, and each student receives individual support and advice according to their needs. To join this course you need an English level of at least Intermediate or IELTS Band 5 and you can study for as little as 4 weeks or as long as 20 weeks, depending on your goals. Our Academic Manager can assess your English skills and advise you on an appropriate individualised study plan, and your progress will be carefully monitored. Students are given end of term tests every four weeks – this is a full mock test day which is designed to replicate the real exam day experience.


WHAT SKILLS WILL YOU GAIN?

The IELTS course is a multi-level program offered at Intermediate to Advanced Level. The whole course takes 20 weeks to complete. Students are given end of term tests every four weeks.


  • Academic reading & listening skills & test-taking strategies
