IELTS PREPARATION COURSE

The IELTS Preparation course provides students with a range of skills and strategies to ensure that they are well prepared to sit the IELTS test.

IELTS, International English Language Testing System, is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is the language of communication. It covers the four language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing, and is available in two formats – Academic English and General English.

Program Emphasis

During the course, students will become more familiar with the IELTS format, learn test-taking strategies and have the opportunity to do several practice tests. A range of resources is provided at NSE to enhance learning. Course books and workbooks, as well as multi-media resources, are available for student use. We highly recommend this course for students with long-term goals and for those who have already booked the test and may need intensive last-minute preparation.
