IELTS is accepted by governments in many countries where an English language test is a requirement for permanent residency. The governments of the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand accept IELTS results. The score you need depends on the requirements of your visa. 

Aside from immigration, having an IELTS qualification will also enable you to skip the English test, depending on your score and the specific requirements, to attend an English-speaking university, and is valid for working in an international environment. 

The IELTS preparation course teaches aspects such as grammar, idioms, and vocabulary as well and exam strategy, exam thinking and wider English language skills to build your fluency and confidence. 

We run IELTS prep in: 

• EC Brighton
• EC Bristol
