IELTS Preparation
About IELTS
The Toronto Academy of Education’s IELTS Preparation Course provides a structured pathway for students to prepare for the IELTS exam effectively, with an emphasis on practice, feedback, and continuous improvement. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is one of the world’s most widely recognized English language proficiency tests. It is designed to assess the language ability of individuals who wish to study, work or migrate to countries where English is the primary language of communication. The test evaluates four key language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, and is available in two versions: Academic and General Training.
The Academic version is intended for those applying for higher education or professional registration, while the General Training version is suitable for those seeking work experience or immigration. IELTS scores are used by educational institutions, employers and immigration authorities worldwide to gauge an individual’s English language proficiency, making it a critical component for achieving academic and career goals in English-speaking environments.
