Throughout the learning process, we measure your progress clearly to highlight strengths, needs and objectives to ensure that you achieve your desired IELTS score in Manchester as quickly and as effectively as possible.​

Course Description

The IELTS course is a very intensive programme focusing on all of the skills you need: reading, writing, listening and speaking, as well as improving vocabulary and grammar. You will also concentrate on developing effective examination techniques.

You will do regular examination practice, including a mid-course practice exam, and receive feedback, correction and advice from your trainer. You will be given a book of past papers to practice and then review in class.
