Intensive IELTS Preparation Course

Old BuildingOur Intensive IELTS Preparation Course is designed specifically for students training for the IELTS examination used by universities worldwide to measure a student's ability to study in English.  The objective of this course is to improve students' IELTS scores to prepare them for further study.

Our Intensive IELTS Preparation Course offers you:

  • 15 hours of tuition per week (9.15 - 10.45 and 11.00 to 12.30, Monday to Friday and use of our well-resourced Self-access Centre).
  • Our classes allow students to work on each of the four skills needed for the exam (reading, writing, listening and speaking), as well as grammar and vocabulary workshop sessions with individual feedback and exam practice.

In the afternoons, if you wish, you may use resources such as computers, videos, cassettes and satellite TV in our Self-Access Centre, learning resource centre and library all at no extra cost. There will usually be two or three social or cultural events per week, on some afternoons Monday to Friday and all-day excursions at the weekend, if there is sufficient interest. All activities are optional and there will be a small charge for each.

Please note:

  • Students must attend the full course period of 4 weeks.
  • Beginner- and elementary-level students cannot join this course.
  • Although Bradford College is not an IELTS Examination Centre, we are more than happy to advise and support students regarding their applications for exam entry and provide information on the nearest centres.
