What’s inside the 36 hours?

Our online IELTS preparation course is designed to help you maximise your score in this challenging exam so that you can secure your place at the university, and on the degree course, of your choice.

The course is centred around 12 different topics that commonly appear on the IELTS exam: Travel, Where you live, Food, Technology, History, Infrastructure, Health & Medicine, Energy, Education and Sport.

All materials are based on past IELTS papers and presented in similar form to the exam in order for you to become comfortable with the format and layout of exam materials.

The course is approximately apportioned to the skills as follows:

  • Writing - 12 hours

  • Speaking - 12 hours

  • Listening - 6 hours

  • Reading - 6 hours

Writing and speaking are often the areas that students need most help with when preparing for IELTS and therefore these are the largest part of the course. Listening and reading sections are largely limited to discussing the strategies students need to attack these sections, with practice exercises being provided for homework.

    Failure to comply with the registration formalities and payment terms may result in the enrolment being cancelled.

    Payments may not be made in instalments.

    The Cambridge Centre for Languages reserves the right to decline an application for a course.

    By registering a student on our course, parents/guardian/agents give the Cambridge Centre for Languages permission to include the student in the course photographs we take or films we make to be used for promotional purposes.

  • We regret that no reduction of fees can be made if a student begins the course late or leaves early.

    In case of cancellation we will refund all course fees and the deposit only if cancellation is received in writing within 14 days of the booking being made. Please note accommodation fees are exempt from the cancellation policy.

    If a student of a country for which there is a visa requirement to enter the U.K. is refused by the British authorities (British Consulate or visa section of a British Embassy) to have this visa, and a copy of the official visa refusal letter is sent to the Cambridge Centre for Languages four weeks before the course starts, at the latest, all monies received from the student will be refunded. If, however, the refusal letter reaches the Cambridge Centre for Languages within the last four week period before the start of our summer course, only course fees less the deposit will be refunded. To avoid this situation, students are advised to complete registration formalities and visa applications well in advance of the course starting date.

    Within four weeks before the course starts, refunds of course fees (less the deposit) will be made if the student is taken seriously ill and cannot attend the course and this fact is verified by a medical/hospital report.

    The Cambridge Centre for Languages aspires to offer the students a study environment as internationally mixed as possible. If, however, enrolments are received for a course in such a way that it puts one particular nationality in a substantial majority, the parents/guardian/agents of the students will be informed of this situation before the course starts and if they decide to cancel the course as a result of this, all monies (less the deposit) will be refunded.

    A damage fund of £200 is collected from the student on arrival and returned to him or her at the end of the course, less the amount needed to cover any loss, breakage, and/or damage the student causes either at school or homestay or outside during trips or activities.

    A student who fails to observe the rules of the Centre or brings it into disrepute may be required to leave, in which case a refund of fees will not be made.

    We will immediately inform the parents/guardian/agents if a student has a poor school attendance or punctuality record, or does not have a good reason for not being at his homestay by the prescribed time after lessons/daily activities. If there is no improvement in these areas, we reserve the right to ask a student to leave the programme, in which case a refund of fees will not be made.

  • The Cambridge Centre for Languages reserves the right to change students` homestay arrangements or make amendments in the social programme, if circumstances dictate it.

  • Students are advised to insure in their own country against illness, accident and loss of money or property. The Centre accepts no responsibility for loss, damage or expense resulting from these causes.
