iELTS [international enGlish lanGuaGe testinG sYstem]Established over 25 years ago, IELTS is the world’s proven English language test.
IELTS continues to set the standard for English language testing, and is accepted as evidence of English language proficiency by over 9,000 organisations worldwide. Last year, more than 2.2 million tests were taken globally. IELTS is recognised as a secure, valid and reliable indicator of true-to-life ability to communicate in English for education, immigration and professional accreditation.
• Full time exam preparation program in canadian GV schools (25 lessons per week); option course at GV hawaii (5 lessons per week)
• Focuses on the main components of academic English as used in university-style courses
• Test practice components build familiarity with the format of the test and provide students with the opportunity to practice a range of test-taking strategies
• Best choice for students seeking international education, professional recognition, benchmarking to international standards, and global mobility
• Official IELTS exam held multiple times per month in each GV school (monthly in hawaii)
TOEFL [test of enGlish as a foreiGn lanGuaGe]The TOEFL® test is among the most widely respected English-language tests in the world, recognized by more than 9,000 colleges, universities and agencies in more than 130 countries. Wherever you want to study, the TOEFL test can help you get there.

PATHWAYSPreparing for University or college demands a high level of academic English. This involves developing a strong command of academic reading, note taking and lecture skills, and of course, academic writing and research skills.
The English for academic Purposes (EaP) program (GV canada schools) and GV hawaii’s University Pathways Program (UPP) help students prepare the skills they need for entering university. The EaP program combines 20 lessons per week of General English studies in the mornings with a double option afternoon class (10 lessons per week) for academic reading and writing skills. The UP Program combines 20 lessons per week of General English studies with a five lesson per week option class. Each GV school offers a wide variety of specially designed option classes which focus on study skills, note-taking, presentations, academic writing and research. Students who successfully complete this program will be ready to succeed at college or university.
PATHWAYS: These institutions will accept the Global Village certificate or letter of completion as proof of English proficiency (no IELTS or TOEFL score required).
PARTNERSHiPSSome colleges and universities require an internationally-recognized assessment exam score as proof of English proficiency for admission, such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). IELTS is known as the world’s language proficiency test because it is so widely used by institutions of higher learning in canada, the UK, australia, New Zealand, the United States and around the world.
In this case, students can choose to take GV’s IELTS Preparation program instead of the General English classes; IELTS preparation at GV schools in canada is a 25 lesson per week program, so students can also add one academic elective class (5 lessons per week). a 30 lesson per week IELTS Preparation program is available at GV Vancouver. GV hawaii offers a five lesson per week IELTS Option class, which is combined with General English studies.
PARTNERSHiPS: These institutions require an IELTS or TOEFL (or other) score as proof of English proficiency.

“Being in GV calgary has been one of the best choices I have ever made in my life. Not only have I improved my English, but also I made friends from other continents which is actually what I was hoping, when I first arrived in calgary. I fell in love with calgary and its wonderful surroundings. The calgarians are super cool and the activities are 100% fun. Thank you GV calgary for being part of my journey, and I’ll see you again soon when I start my postgraduate at SaIT.”
