Universities usually ask for IELTS Academic. Besides the overall score, a programme often sets a minimum for each part of the test
Migration routes often use General Training, but the country and the specific programme decide the test type and the band you need
Some professions abroad require you to prove your English. Your professional regulator decides which test and band you need
We build the plan around your target band, your starting level and your test date
We check each part of IELTS separately: a good Reading score does not guarantee a good Writing score
We confirm the bands you need and your exam date, and decide which tasks get the most time
You do the tasks and the teacher shows where an answer lost marks: a missed part of the question, an unexplained idea, an imprecise word
We practise tasks against the clock. The number of mock tests depends on how long you have before the exam
How long you need depends on your level, the band you need and your free time. We check your level and suggest a pace. Not going to make your date? We will tell you straight away.
IELTS assesses four skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The full test takes roughly 2 hours 45 minutes.
Each part is scored from 0 to 9, and the overall score is the average of the four, rounded to the nearest half band.
At test centres IELTS is taken on computer, and in some countries you can handwrite the Writing (Writing on Paper). In some countries IELTS Academic can also be taken online from home. Not every university accepts that result, and it does not count at all for immigration or professional registration.
A UK visa needs a separate format, IELTS for UKVI, and it can only be taken in person at an official test centre. Since 8 January 2026 the Skilled Worker visa has required B2: at least 5.5 in each of the four skills. A high overall score will not help here: one skill below 5.5 is enough to make the result unusable for the visa.
Your Writing band is based on four criteria: how fully you answer the task, how coherent your text is, your vocabulary and your grammar. These are what we check in your work. Task 2 counts twice as much as Task 1, so the essay gets the most time.
In Task 2 we teach you to state a position, choose arguments and support them with examples.
We start with a level check and match you with a teacher
