IELTS Course Outline

Overall Goal: “By working with specially designed academic skills materials and with teacher’s expert

in IELTS preparation, participants deepen their understanding of academic language and maximize their

abilities in the IELTS exam.”

The course is designed to prepare candidates for the Academic Training Module in the IELTS

examination. It is aimed at students who already hold an overall IELTS band score of 4.0-5.5 and who

wish to upgrade their score in order to gain admission to a British or American University. The course

draws upon many successful factors of our unique program, but is aimed towards those who have not yet

achieved the 6.0 -7.5 levels required. The minimum requirement for admission to the IELTS program is

an intermediate English Level. The course includes full mock IELTS examinations taken at the end of the

third and fifth weeks.

We teach students from around the world each year in our Houston/Denver offices through

private courses, small group and large group workshops. The Long IELTS course is 30 Hours in

instructional and practice time and includes 2 practice tests (6 hours). Each course teaches students the

high-score strategies for all 4 sections of the exam. We keep our classes small (no more than 6 in a class)

to make sure we are able to focus on the individual students. Classes are offered during the week and

weekend and are designed to enable a student to successfully continue their ESL program while being

prepared for IELTS success. More information is included in the brochure.
