Education experts launch preparation courses to help students boost their IELTS score

24 May 2010

1.5 million candidates who take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) each year can now improve their performance thanks to a new range of preparation courses developed by international language experts.

The IELTS preparation courses - from Cambridge ESOL and New Zealand-based Vital English - are available in two versions: the IELTS Blended Learning Courses, combining online and classroom study, and the 100% online IELTS Self-study Courses. The blended learning version for the Academic module of IELTS allows tuition providers to adjust the amount of online and classroom learning according to the individual needs of their learners - so higher band learners receive more online study and less classroom support than lower band learners. The self-study courses - made up of 25 hour online modules - cover the different skills for IELTS Academic and General Training and can be taken individually or combined to form a longer course.

Both include 100 hours of learning through the essential fours skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. They use a range of multimedia interactive learning tools and will benefit the hundreds of thousands of people each year looking to boost their global mobility through an IELTS test.
