The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Preparation Course is designed to prepare international students for the General and Academic Training Modules of the IELTS Test. The course is structured into two Levels, Levels 1 & 2. Each level is 10 weeks consisting of 20 hours of face-to-face classes per week. Students may be required to attend additional classes if they are at risk of not meeting course progress requirements. Students enrolled for this course will have as their specific study objective the need to attain a result in an internationally recognised certificate of English language proficiency, which will either provide a pathway for migration purposes or completion of a tertiary level course in an Australian tertiary institution. |
Level 1 is for students seeking to achieve a IELTS score of 4.0 – 5.0 |
The IELTS Preparation course focuses on enabling students to obtain the requisite score in the IELTS test. This course focuses on training the student in the four key skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing as well as various sub-skills in each of the four main skills. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of materials covering a number of different academic disciplines and will learn, through this exposure, how the task requirements of the IELTS examination mirror the English language requirements of tertiary study.
