IELTS is an intensive exam course; it measures your English language ability. It is also used for entry into University, TAFE or private colleges in Australia.

IELTS is a great course for students who want to improve their overall English ability. The course focuses on reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Our IELTS course is taught by an IELTS examiner, who has over 10 years IELTS experience.

IELTS is one of our most popular courses because of Liese, our wonderful IELTS teacher and the great students who study it. Currently the IELTS class has students from Japan, Germany, Spain and Brazil.

If you would like to join the IELTS class make an appointment at reception to see Siobhan.

There is still time left to study either FCE or CAE at the Byron Bay English Language School (BBELS).

Cambridge classes are taught by very experienced and professional teachers.

Frank, the Cambridge coordinator, has been teaching Cambridge courses since they first started, at BBELS, in October 2001.

Cambridge courses are a great way to improve your overall English ability. The courses focus on:

• Speaking
• Reading
• Writing
