INTRODUCTION

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) measures the language proficiency of people who want to study or work where English is used as a language of communication. It uses a nine-band scale to clearly identify levels of proficiency, from non-user (band score 1) through to expert (band score 9).

IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English. As internationally focused organisations, we are committed to academic excellence and cultural understanding – ideal providers of international English testing.

IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training

IELTS is available in two test versions: Academic - for people applying for higher education or professional registration, and General Training for those migrating to Australia, Canada and the UK, or applying for secondary education, training programmes and work experience in an English-speaking environment. Both versions provide a valid and accurate assessment of the four language skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking.

IELTS COURSE AT SETO

At Seto Education Services, we have IELTS course of 30 hours in 6 Weeks, Monday to Friday, while there will be a Mock- test session every Sunday. Generally, new classes commence every Monday. The students, however, can get admitted anytime and join the class at their convenience as some of the classes are rolling-on all the year round. Please, contact the office to arrange a class in your convenient time if needed.

Our course basically caters to the need of standardized test preparation on the following principles:

TEST FAMILIARIZATION:  For all test takers, it’s important to know what the test is like: what IELTS is testing and how the test is formatted in order to check the skills of students’ proficiency of English language. As a test taker, one needs to know about thing about the test: time, contents, format and regulation in answer reporting as to acquire good scores.

SKILL PRACTICE: Only being familiar with the test cannot assure good result. While students may already have good proficiency, taking a preparation course will help them further practice and consolidate their language skills. Our classroom activities and assignments are targeted to enhance the language skills in reading, listening, speaking and writing.

TEST PRACTICE: Finally, our main aim for students is to sit for the test comfortably while they already can be sure how much they can go in exam. As with regular test practice monitoring and reporting, our experienced and trained teachers can assure how much our students can gain the real exam. Our mock tests organized on Sundays help students gain their confidence and accomplish their targeted scores.

Course Fee: Nrs. 6,000 (Including a practice book and stationery)
