If your long-term study goal is entry to a university in the UK, South Africa, Australia or New Zealand a high score in the IELTS exam is required. We offer preparatory courses (varying in length from 1 to 8 weeks) which provide practice in the important skills university-bound students require - e.g. essay writing and lecture note-taking. Torbay: 18 lessons General English Focus + 9 dedicated to specific IELTS test preparation per week.
Our well-established and expert examination team provide the students with a comprehensive preparation for Cambridge English examinations. Morning lessons are structured to focus on grammar and vocabulary building, with specific focus on the ‘Use of English’, ‘writing’, and ‘reading’ papers. In the afternoons the lessons focus on the ‘speaking’ and ‘listening’ papers. Students can expect to be given comprehensive practice of past papers and a thorough education in exam techniques. It should be noted that there is an expectation that the students have a certain degree of homework in order to prepare then fully for the exams.
The Cambridge Exam Course Plus has been designed to suit those students who wish to improve their English and gain some confidence before enrolling on the examinations course. For the first four weeks students will attend General English classes in the morning to build on their grammar and vocabulary, and in the afternoon attend Intensive courses to enhance their communication skills. To ensure that the students are making the required progress and optimising their time they will have weekly tutorials with members of the examination team.
