What is IELTS?
The International English Language Testing System (popularly known as IELTS) is the world’s leading test of English for higher education, immigration and employment.
Ten Things You Need to Know About IELTS
1. IELTS is recognised in 121 countries by more than 6000 institutions, government departments, professional associations and other organisations. IELTS is a globally recognised assessment of English language proficiency.
2. Over 1 million people take the IELTS test each year.
3. IELTS is preferred over other international English language testing systems because it is designed to accommodate a variety of accents, situations and writing styles of many different countries. This means that the test is ideal for those who are looking to assess their ability to speak and read English, but not necessarily North American English.
4. IELTS incorporates advances in applied linguistics, language pedagogy, language assessment and technology.
5. A growing number of government departments and agencies are using IELTS results for immigration and student visa applications.
6. Whether you are studying modern art in Iran or business and law at Harvard, IELTS is compulsory.
7. Many scholarship boards including the Malaysian Government (JPA, Mara, etc) will only award scholarships to those with the required IELTS score.
8. Many Malaysians sit for the IELTS an average of three times before they get their desired results.
9. Taking a preparatory course in smaller groups will ensure greater trainer-student interaction and increase your chance of achieving the level you require.
10. Our 3-day preparatory course is conducted by a highly experienced trainer with an 85% success rate.
