TOEFL & IELTS Courses
At ALC we offer the TOEFL and IELTS courses to students who have completed the advanced ESL course. These courses are 5 weeks each.
TOEFL and IELTS must be taken by:
- students wishing to enter a college or University – or sometimes a school – where English is the language of instruction
- people planning to immigrate to such countries
- people looking for training or work experience in such countries.
Students who have not studied ESL at the Austin Learning Centre are required to complete an Entry Examination since strong proficiency in the English language is a necessity.
Personal Skills Writing Course – for University entrance
Every university requires written submissions from each applicant, proving their merit over another applicant. At the Austin Learning Centre we work with each student to strengthen these specialised writing skills. Whichever university you wish to apply to, we focus on the requirements of the personal statements, the critical essay and resume/ CV building.
