IELTS (INTENSIVE) PREPARATION TEST COURSE
What is IELTS?
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a test for students who need to demonstrate English language proficiency for study or work in English-speaking countries. The IELTS test is recognised in many countries. It is used as a measure of English language proficiency by educational institutions, employers, professional organisations, such as the British Medical Association (BMA), and by government agencies.
IELTS is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is used as the language of communication. It covers the four language skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Structure of the IELTS Test
IELTS has two modules: There are two different modules: Academic and General Training - for the reading and writing components of the test; the listening and speaking test are the same for both academic and general training modules.
The General Training module is usually taken by people who want work in English-speaking countries, whereas, the Academic module is taken by people who want to study at Academic level.
Students are tested in listening, reading, writing and speaking. There is a choice between Academic and General Training in the Reading and Writing Modules. The total test time, excluding the speaking test, is two hours and 45 minutes. Your speaking test may be on the same day as the other parts, or on a different day.
CBC undertakes, the IELTS intensive preparation test course for students wishing to progress to either further academic or professional studies. The course runs on a flexible basis and students can join at ANY time. CLASSES are SMALL - NO Large Groups FOR MAXIMUM course benefit.
CBC innovation into education suggests that flexible studying, achieves far more than the rigid nature attributable to modern day educational establishments. We have done away with start dates and introduced the CBC flexible learning opportunities into ALL our courses - we are small and growing, yet innovative and precise. Student attend the College towards self achievement. Results are therefore our business. We have a small and friendly staff - who have the students interests at the heart of our course delivery programmes.
To join - all students undertake a TWO hour Assessment/Test. At the end of the assessment/test, students are assigned to the IELTS programme of study (depending on their individual score).
