Who this programme is for
Students applying to universities abroad who need a specific band, typically 6.5 to 7.5. Suits candidates who speak English well but lose marks on task response and structure, which is most of them.
What you will be able to do
- Know your current band across all four modules from a real diagnostic
- Structure Task 1 and Task 2 responses to the band descriptors
- Handle the Reading paper within the time limit
- Speak fluently under Part 3 pressure without drying up
How the programme is structured
Stage 1: Diagnostic
A full assessment across Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking to establish your genuine starting band.
Stage 2: Target the gap
Time goes to the modules holding your overall score down, not evenly across all four.
Stage 3: Writing feedback
Detailed written feedback on Task 1 and Task 2 against the band descriptors, repeatedly, because writing is where most candidates stall.
Stage 4: Timed practice and speaking mocks
Exam-condition papers and speaking mocks run the way an examiner would.
Frequently asked questions
Three to four weeks if you are within half a band of your target. Two to three months if you need a full band or more. The diagnostic tells us which you are.
Academic for university study. General Training for migration, work and most PR applications. Check your specific institution's requirement, and ask us if it is unclear.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. We will tell you after the diagnostic what is realistic in your timeframe.
We can point you at the right test centre and date, but you book the test yourself through the official provider.
