IELTS Courses
What is the difference between Online and On Campus IELTS courses?
Online and On Campus IELTS courses are identical with the same syllabus and teachers. The only difference is that On Campus courses are delivered face-to-face.
Does IELC have IELTS group courses?
Our IELTS courses are private courses because we believe that the best results are gained through getting personalised feedback on your areas of weakness so that you can develop faster. In group course settings, you will have to sit through lessons that may not be relevant to you and the teacher cannot give you feedback on your individual test performance. For this reason, we believe the best exam preparation course is a private course.
How long should I prepare for IELTS?
It's hard to say how long you will need to prepare to achieve your IELTS target. This depends on your current level and your target score. For best results, it's recommended to start your preparation at least 2-3 months before the test. However, we have helped many students achieve their targets in a much shorter time.
