IELTS Preparation
The IELTS preparation program consists of two different modules: General Training Module and Academic Module. 
Both courses are designed to prepare students to undertake the IELTS English test.

Class activities will help prepare for the different kinds of tasks in the four sections of the test.  We analyze IELTS test tasks,
develop strategies to deal with them and practice these to cope with the time constraints of the tests.

While the Academic and General Training modules have the same Speaking and Listening tests, the Academic reading
and writing modules assesses whether a candidate is ready to study or train in the medium of English at university
(undergraduate or postgraduate level).

The General Training Module is suitable for candidates who are going to English speaking countries to complete secondary
education, to undertake work experience and/or training programs (not at a degree level) or for migration
purposes to Australia and New Zealand.
