IELTS Exam Preparation Course
This exam preparation course will prepare you for the IELTS (International English Language Testing Systems) test. This is the ideal test if you need to study or work where English is the language of communication. IELTS scores are recognised by universities and colleges, employers, immigration authorities and professional bodies.
It tests a candidate's ability to speak, read, listen and write in English. IELTS is the test adopted by the Government of the HKSAR to test university graduates’ competency and has been adopted by the private sector as the staff-benchmarking examination when planning promotions or training.
The English preparatory course allows participants to familiarise with the details of IELTS, equip themselves with different test taking techniques and strategies by practising the component papers of the IELTS examination and have a better understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses in the four language skills.
Our IELTS courses cover the Academic IELTS exam and General IELTS training streams.
