Fast-track IELTS

Fast-track IELTS

IELTS is the most popular English exam internationally, required for admission by the majority of universities in the English speaking world. A distinctive feature of IELTS is that the exam is held twice a month (compared for example to IGCSE which is held twice a year) and the application can be made just a month ahead of the exam.

Our "Fast Track IELTS Program" is an intensive series of classes tailored to students who hold conditional offers from universities but have not yet achieved the required score. Delivered over a period of just six week, the program aims to raise your score by an entire unit point (e.g from 5.5 to 6.5). The program is available for enrollment throughout the year, but most students take it over the summer. Given that the duration is just 6 weeks you could enroll as late as in July and still get your result in time for university admission in September.

Classes can be taken on one-to-one basis, or in small groups of up to 4 students. For candidates that have not taken the test before, we provide a free assessment and then advise on the duration of study needed to achieve the target result.
