Overview	These courses are 5-day courses and concentrate on giving you specific techniques for the examination. Some of our teachers are also IELTS examiners and so we feel we can give you excellent preparation. The courses are offered every month immediately before the day of the examination. The IELTS preparation course aims to give you an overview of the examination format as well as techniques and strategies required for the exam. You will have the chance to perform practice tests under examination conditions and the IELTS tutor will offer guidance and feedback on performance. The IELTS preparation course is not designed specifically to improve your knowledge of English, but more to give information and advice on how to perform to the best of your ability during the exam.
About IELTS	IELTS (The International English Language Testing System) is designed to assess the ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is used as the language of communication. IELTS is accepted by educational institutions in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and increasingly in Canada, the USA and other countries, as evidence of the language skills necessary for entry to university or college courses. Many other organisations around the world use IELTS scores for a range of purposes - for example immigration, recruitment and entry to training courses. The exam is administered jointly by three leading organisations involved in international language training and assessment: The British Council, IDP Education Australia and the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate. IELTS assesses the ability of candidates to use English effectively in the four key language skill areas - listening, reading, writing and speaking as well as their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary in the context of language use. There are four modules. All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking modules, but they can choose to take either the Academic or General Training Reading and Writing modules. The Academic modules assess candidates' ability to use the kind of language needed to follow a course of study - for example, following complex arguments, discussing abstract ideas and concepts and dealing with information effectively. The General Training modules assess a broader range of language skills. They are more suited to candidates wanting to take work-related training courses, complete their secondary education or work in an English speaking country.
