The morning classes build all your skills and the afternoon classes prepare you for the test: the four skills, the structure of the exam and the techniques to get the score you need, with weekly tests, homework and a tutorial every two weeks. For students at Intermediate level (B1+, about IELTS 4.5) or higher. Price per week: 1-7 weeks £330, 8-12 weeks £320, 13-23 weeks £310, 24 weeks or more £300. Classes have a maximum of 12 students and each lesson lasts 90 minutes. You can start any Monday (except public holidays), for 1 week or more; minimum age 16. There is a placement test before you arrive and a short speaking test on your first day, an individual learning plan, regular tutorials with your teacher, weekly and monthly progress tests, and a certificate and course report at the end. The school is closed over Christmas and New Year (21 December 2026 to 3 January 2027) and on UK public holidays. You need to buy the coursebook (Mindset for IELTS, currently £45, paid at the school) and bring your own laptop or tablet for the online practice materials; practice tests and extra study material are free. Every 4 weeks there is a free full mock IELTS exam on a Friday afternoon, with detailed written feedback, and a tutorial two weeks before your official exam. The school helps you book the official test (in Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol or, for UKVI IELTS, Cardiff).
