IELTS Preparation
Our IELTS Preparation course is designed to equip you with the fundamental knowledge and skills to confidently pass the IELTS exam. IELTS, short for the International English Language Testing System, was developed in 1980 by Cambridge Assessment English.
There are two versions of the test: academic and general. Both assess the same four language skills but in different contexts. The academic test is suited for students aiming to pursue higher education abroad, while the general test is ideal for those seeking employment opportunities in English-speaking countries.

What are the benefits of taking the IELTS exam?
The IELTS exam opens up a range of opportunities for individuals in various fields, especially for those aiming to study, work,
or migrate to English-speaking countries. Here are some key opportunities that the IELTS exam can provide:
1. Higher Education: IELTS is widely accepted by universities and colleges in English-speaking countries (like the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand).
2. Work and Employment: Many employers, especially those in English-speaking countries, require proof of English proficiency. An IELTS score can be used to demonstrate your ability to work in environments where English is the primary language.
3. Immigration: Countries like Canada, Australia, the UK, and New Zealand use IELTS scores as part of their immigration process. A certain band score may be required for work or permanent residency visas.
4. Global Recognition: IELTS is accepted by over 10,000 organizations worldwide, so your score can help you move between different countries and educational systems, making it easier to take advantage of global opportunities.

Course info
- Course Requirements
- Cancellation
You need an intermediate level (B1) in English at least to apply for this course.
We test you to make sure you are B1+ through Cambridge English Placement Test (CEPT). This course will prepare you for the IELTS exam by practicing your English skills and enhancing your abilities in each skill.
Additionally, you’ll learn some other skills besides the English ones. One of these is time management as you need to be precise in the time you need for every question, because if you take too much time on a question you’ll not catch up the others or you’ll solve them in a rush. And as we know, rushing in the answers isn’t great.
- For cancellations made four weeks or more before the course start date, 20% of the total fee will be retained.
- Cancellations with less than two weeks’ notice will result in 50% of the total fee being retained.
- If cancellation occurs within the last ten days before the start date, the full fee will be retained. Under certain conditions, the fee may be transferable to another course.
If Reach Out GCC cancels the course, all fees will be refunded. Once the course has started, no refunds will be available. We advise securing insurance for unexpected circumstances.
Force Majeure
In cases of course delays or cancellations due to force majeure, Reach Out GCC will not be liable for a refund.
