IELTS Classes in Parramatta

An Insight into IELTS Classes in Parramatta

The IELTS paper is made up of four sections – speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Depending on your projected career path you can choose to complete either the Academic or General Training version of the test. The general training module is for general immigrants and those wishing to study at any institution below degree level (e.g TAFE or community college). The academic module is appropriate for students wishing to study at University or for those seeking professional registration (e.g doctors or lawyers).

For both the academic and general modules the speaking and listening test are the same. The reading and writing sections, however, vary between the different tests. Your IELTS results are valid for 24 months after you complete the test.
