About the IELTS Exam Preparation course

Have you been admitted to an English-language program, or are you about to start working in an English-speaking environment? If so, you may need an IELTS certificate. This certificate demonstrates that you have sufficient command of English for use in an academic or professional context.

You often have to pass the IELTS exam within a specific timeframe, such as before the start of your studies or before you begin a new job. Proper preparation is essential. To support you in this, Babel has developed an IELTS exam preparation course. With this course, you’ll work specifically on your exam skills, increasing your chances of success and preventing delays in your future plans.

  • you’ll practice with tasks that frequently appear on the IELTS exam.
  • you’ll learn how to manage your time effectively across the various exam tasks.
  • You can identify misleading questions and know how to interpret them correctly.

Approachable, good content

The step was quite big for me to start, but the entry level is very accessible. All aspects are adequately covered; speaking, listening, reading, grammar. You get good feedback. Because there is a lot of material to do independently, you can get as much out of it as you want.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which English language level suits me?

To make sure you enrol at the right level, you can take our free placement test. This test will help you assess your current level of English. Once you’ve completed it, the test will be marked by one of our experienced teachers, who will provide you with personalised feedback. That way, you’ll know exactly which level suits you best.

Can I make up a missed English class?

Unfortunately, in group courses it is not possible to make up a missed lesson, because the lessons take place at fixed times for the whole group. Through the lesson materials, homework and lesson plan in MyBabel, you can work through the missed material independently, so that you can continue to follow the course well.

Can I pay for my English course in installments?

You pay the course fee in a single payment. You can do this upon registration via iDEAL, credit card, or by having your employer pay the invoice.
