IELTS is an essential qualification for students seeking a place at a UK or English-speaking university and is used by many multi-national companies to establish applicants’ level of English.
Students can also prepare for the Cambridge C1 Advanced exam.
All exam courses offer dedicated preparation and intensive exam practice instead of Academic/Business English and Learning and Innovation.
Students sit the exam at an external testing centre at the end of their course.
