International English Language Testing System (IELTS)


This course will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge for taking the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test, which measures your ability to communicate in English across all four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking.

The test reflects and tests English as it is used in real work, study and life situations, and is a requirement for entry into higher education in England.

A typical student is probably someone who is planning to go on to higher level study either in the UK or abroad, and needs to demonstrate that they have reached a level of English appropriate for their chosen course. The score required depends upon the requirements of the establishment and the course you wish to study.
