Teaching & Assessment
This course is delivered through three face-to-face group lessons, each lasting three hours. Lessons are based on a structured IELTS coursebook, also available in digital format for flexible study.
Classes are interactive, professional, and enjoyable, designed to create a supportive environment where you can apply new language skills confidently and without fear of making mistakes.
Mock tests are built into the programme to give you essential exam practice and personalised teacher feedback. To maximise your progress, independent study is strongly encouraged. Reviewing class materials and exploring related topics on your own will help consolidate your learning, increase your chances of exam success, and highlight themes or questions to explore further in class.
Although official IELTS exams are held at certified test centres, you’ll be thoroughly prepared through regular in-course practice tests, helping you feel confident and ready for the real exam.
