IELTS Preparation

If you want to study in Australia or get an Australian visa, you might need to sit an IELTS test. Hawthorn-Melbourne’s IELTS preparation course will give you the skills you need to succeed.

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) assesses the English language proficiency of people who want to study or work where English is the main language. It is recognised by higher education providers, governments and employers all over the world.

IELTS tests the four skills of language learning. You will develop skills in:

listening: note-taking, listening for specific information
speaking: expressing ideas and opinions, seeking clarification, pronunciation
reading: speed reading strategies, understanding graphs and charts, analysing IELTS specimen papers
writing: interpreting questions, organising content, grammatical accuracy.

Succeeding in the IELTS test is also about understanding the test structure. We will help you with that too. Throughout your course you will do regular test practice and role plays. You will learn special test strategies to do with the format of the test and time management.

If you sit the IELTS examination, you will be given an overall band score from 1.0 (non-user) to 9.0 (expert user). For most higher education programs, you will need a minimum score between 6.0 and 7.5 to be eligible to apply.
