Intensive English IELTS exam preparation Cambridge exam preparation

Our General English courses focus on communication. Every day, you will have classes which focus on the language itself: grammar and vocabulary, alongside skills classes speaking, reading, writing and listening, where you get to put the language into practice. We allow you to use the language in a real context and encourage your use of English inside and outside the classroom.

The IELTS exam has become one of the most popular public examinations worldwide for students wishing to gain entrance to an English-language academic institution. Rather than getting a pass or fail the candidates receive a score from one to nine with most UK universities typically requiring a score of 6 or 6.5. At International House Bristol almost 100 percent of recent students have achieved the score they needed.

Thousands of educational organisations, government agencies and immigration authorities throughout the world recognise Cambridge / UCLES exams as a proof of language ability. Depending on student numbers we can offer courses for Cambridge PET, FCE, CAE, CPE and BULATS.

The course provides an overview of the IELTS test, test strategies and practice for the reading, writing, speaking and listening parts of the IELTS General Training Module. The course is offered as an afternoon elective for 4, 8 or 12 weeks beginning weekly from June - August. This is an ideal course for students with an Intermediate-Advanced level of English looking to become familiar with the test, while increasing their confidence and chances of achieving an outstanding result! The IELTS General Training exam is mainly used for immigration purposes in Canada.

We prepare students for popular English language exams including IELTS.

Different teachers have different styles of teaching, but the Lake School ’style of teaching’ is dynamic and communicative.
