Cambridge University Press, Cambridge Assessment English and Kaplan Test Prep co-create livestreamed and online preparation courses for the IELTS test.
Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment English, who together provide official preparation materials for Cambridge English Qualifications and IELTS (International English Language Testing System) have partnered with Kaplan Test Prep, a premier provider of educational services, to deliver livestreamed and self-paced preparation courses for IELTS. Using official Cambridge IELTS content from Cambridge Assessment English - the producer of the test - the courses provide comprehensive preparation at a time and pace that suits the learner.
The livestreamed course begins in July, while the self-paced course launches in August. Both are available for enrolment now.
More than 3.5 million IELTS tests are taken each year, making it the world's most popular high-stakes English language test for higher education and global migration. IELTS scores are trusted by over 10,000 organizations globally, including over 3,400 academic institutions in the United States. IELTS is designed to test the language ability of people who want to study or work where English is used as the language of communication, and is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English.
Pamela Baxter, CEO at Cambridge Exams Publishing, producer of official Cambridge preparation materials, explained, “Learners will now be able to get the best of our IELTS preparation materials delivered with the flexibility to suit their busy lives. With these courses, learners can be confident they are getting the most out of their preparation time.”
