The GCE IAL cohort undertakes an IELTS Preparation Course across Forms Four and Five. The programme focuses on the very particular and specific skills tested in the IELTS Academic exam in each of its four papers: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking.

The work we do provides students in 4F and 5F not only with practice for the test, but with skills—especially those of academic writing—which will stand them in good stead for their tertiary courses.

As an IELTS score is valid for two years, most students will sit the test at the end of Form Five.
