Description
Designed for students wishing to study for and sit the IELTS examination for entrance to higher education
Although there is no minimum language level requirement for this course, it is expected that students will have had some previous learning of English and that, in consultation with the EAL Online School staff members, sufficient time can be allocated to study prior to the examination.
On the IELTS programme, students will use study materials specifically designed for the IELTS course and examination, and a variety of assessments and mock examinations will be conducted.
Within the IELTS programme, there may be the possibility for preparation for other examinations, such as the SELT or similar. Contact us to discuss this further.
