IELTS preparation
Prepare with professionals.
Assessing authorities, regulators and visa pathways for Australia, New Zealand and Canada commonly set a minimum IELTS score. We help you understand the test and prepare for each section.
About the test
Four sections, one score.
IELTS reports a band score from 0 to 9 for each section and an overall score. It comes in Academic and General Training versions, and the one you need depends on your plans.
Listening
About 30 minutes
Four recordings with a range of accents. Practice focuses on following detail, taking notes and answering as you listen.
Reading
60 minutes
Long passages and varied question types. Practice focuses on skimming, scanning and managing your time.
Writing
60 minutes
Two tasks. Practice focuses on structure, clear arguments, vocabulary and accuracy, with feedback on your answers.
Speaking
11 to 14 minutes
A one-to-one conversation with an examiner. Practice focuses on fluency, pronunciation and answering confidently.
Timings are approximate. Check the official IELTS website for the current test format.

Good to know
We prepare you. You sit the test.
IELTS is taken at an authorised test centre and marked by the test providers. We do not run the official exam. Our role is to help you prepare.
Your result depends on your own performance on the day, so we cannot guarantee a band score. Required scores differ by assessing authority, regulator and visa pathway, and we help you find the target that applies to you.
IELTS questions
IELTS: common questions.
General Training is the version most skilled migration and visa pathways ask for, while Academic is generally required for university admission. Always check which version your assessing authority, regulator or immigration authority asks for.
It depends on your migration pathway, the assessing authority or regulator and, for some, the course. Many also set minimum scores for each section. We help you find the right target for the pathway you are considering.
That depends on your starting level, your target score and how much time you can give each week. After an initial assessment we can suggest a realistic plan.
No. No honest coach can. We provide preparation, practice and feedback, and your result depends on your performance on test day.
IELTS is held at authorised test centres, and you book it through the official test providers. We can explain the booking process and what to prepare.
