How IELTS works
There is no pass or fail in the IELTS test. The students are graded on their performance using a score on the scale from 1 (the lowest) to 9 (the highest) for each part of the test (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking). You can find all information on the ‘Information for Candidate’ booklet regarding the IELTS test components.
Your IELTS test is very important to us and our professional teachers in Cork English World will make sure to prepare you to achieve the best score possible.

The Academic Manager closely monitors the progress of the students by communicating with the tutors on a daily basis.
On full time courses you will be provided with a coursebook (€20 deposit). During the course you will have access to our extensive reference library. We also use a wide range of authentic material in the classroom which helps the student to extend their learning beyond the classroom.

Learner diaries are prepared for all students who are on courses of 7 weeks or more. The Learner diary is completed by your teacher at various intervals throughout your course. It is a written record of your progress in English and a very important document.
Students can do an Exit Test to see their own improvement at the end of their stay.
