The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a standardised assessment designed to evaluate English language proficiency. The British Council asserts that “IELTS is accepted by over 12,000 organisations in more than 140 countries.” The FernUniversität in Hagen is one of those institutions.
Whether or not you wish to sit the IELTS exam, you will find that taking our IELTS Preparation course is an excellent way to improve your English if you prefer a structured approach to learning. We offer three concurrent courses:
- English B1 – IELTS Preparation Course
- English B2 – IELTS Preparation Course
- English C1 – IELTS Preparation Course
Each course consists of 24 lessons over a three-month period – typically 90 minutes once a week. The classes are conducted via Zoom and Moodle, and there is a real teacher at the helm. With a guaranteed small class size – no more than ten students at a time – participants can expect to receive personalised feedback.
The lessons focus on the four key language skills, namely speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students who wish to then sit the IELTS exam may then register at an IELTS exam centre of their choosing. There are dozens of these nationwide, and there is also an option to take an online assessment. The exam for certification is administered by the British Council, and a separate admission fee is payable to them directly.
Upcoming courses for each level:
- February – April
- May – July
- August – October
