IELTS Academic & General Training Prep

Master the strategies, language skills, and test mechanics required to achieve Band 7.0+ on both the IELTS Academic and General Training exams.

This comprehensive preparation program aligns directly with British Council, IDP, and Cambridge English assessment frameworks for both IELTS tracks. Learners systematically dissect the four core subtests—Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking—while mastering official band descriptors and rigorous time-management techniques. Through authentic test materials, targeted feedback rubrics, and diagnostic analyses, candidates build the linguistic competence and confidence needed for global academic and migration success. Every lesson includes tutor notes, a video, a hands-on lab, exercises and a 12-question quiz you must pass at 80%, followed by a pooled final exam and free and paid practice tests. Erudex is independent and not affiliated with IELTS (British Council / IDP).
