"Before I joined the BLC I didn’t have any confidence to speak in English but now I can communicate with people very well without any fear.
I can answer the phone in English and speak with customers in English as well.
I am now able to write good letters and reports at work. My salary has increased twice since I joined the BLC because my English, self confidence and analytical skills have improved.
I would encourage anyone to study at the BLC. Thank you again and keep up the good work you are doing." - Mario

What is the IELTS Preparation Course?
The IELTS Preparation Course follows a Cambridge University Press curriculum and offers students comprehensive preparation and practise for IELTS examinations.
There are two IELTS examinations, one for academic purposes and the second for immigration/employment purposes. The preparation course is designed to prepare students to undertake either the Academic or General Training examination.
Throughout the course students explore the structure of the test paper and look into detail at each skills area tested in the IELTS examination: speaking, reading, writing and listening.
The course develops existing skills, language and exam techniques to help students approach the IELTS examination with confidence.
Students interested in applying for this course need to complete a BTC application form and undertake a placement test. Students must reach intermediate level (minimum requirement) on the placement test to enrol onto the IELTS Preparation Course.
If your placement test is below intermediate level, consider registering on a General English Language Course to develop your grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. This way you can work towards undertaking the IELTS Preparation Course in the future.
If you achieve intermediate level or above you will be offered a place on the IELTS Preparation Course.
