IELTS

Mayfair School offers a twelve-week preparation course for the IELTS Academic Training Examination as well as a continuous enrolment course for the IELTS General Training Examination. These courses are designed to familiarise you with the four different papers and improve your skills to help you obtain the result you need. You will study fifteen lessons per week and complete a substantial amount of homework.

IELTS is now essential for those hoping to study at UK universities or work in the nursing profession. Your course will introduce you to all of the tasks contained within the exam and individual attention from your tutor will help improve your writing, reading, listening and speaking skills.

The IELTS exam takes place every Saturday in London and the school is happy to help you organise your place. You can find out your result in just two weeks and remember that a good IELTS result will also improve your CV.

From 2009 we will be offering two new IELTS programmes at our school:

IELTS for LIFE - a General English course that prepares students to take the IELTS General Training Exam. This course is suitable for strong intermediate students and above and is available at our normal General English course prices. Students may enrol on this course in any week, for 50 weeks out of the year.

IELTS for STUDY - a special course in Academic English that prepares students to take the IELTS Academic Training Exam, an essential requirement for all students who are interested in applying to study at a university or college in the UK in the future. This course is suitable for upper-intermediate students and above. Students may enrol in any week for 50 weeks out of the year; however, a minimum enrolment of 4 weeks is required to reflect the demanding nature of the course.

Cambridge Examination Courses

Get proof of your ability in English by preparing for and taking a Cambridge exam. Many students find that a First Certificate, Advanced or Proficiency exam certificate opens new doors for them and with our 20 years of experience in preparing students for these exams our success rate is very good.

These exams take place in March, June and December and our preparation courses last for either eight or twelve weeks. Students may enrol for 4, 8 or 12 weeks.

These courses are for fifteen lessons per week.
