IELTS Preparatory Course:
We have designed this IELTS Preparatory Course in such way, so that it identifies strength and weakness of mixed ability learners and helps and complements them to take part in the course actively and can make most of it. IELTS is actually for those learners who already have sufficient level of English and want to be familiarizing with the techniques and methodology and carry out practice activities before they sit for the exam. The scenario in Bangladesh is absolutely different. People join the course with an expectation that they will not only prepare themselves for exam but also will learn language and expect a radical improvement in their 4 language skills which is quite ambitious. With these views and facts in mind, we have blended IELTS Preparatory Course including all of our relevant features of spoken course, writing development course and Elementary, Intermediate and Advance Grammar Development Course with providing a free access to our WEEKLY ESOL DEBATE CLUB, a Resource Centre Membership, all scheduled workshops of the year, ELT Conferences and most importantly, will have free access to our Voluntary Student Consultancy Programme (VSCP) which is a unique one.

GATE Voluntary Student Consultancy Project (VSCP):
Our Student Consultancy Project is purely a voluntary project with a view to support students to get enrolled with proper academic institutions in the UK through providing them seminars, counselling, training and admission directly to the quality universities with an affordable payment plan. This project is only for genuine students who genuinely want to study in the UK. This is completely free of cost. On top of them, the students who are unable to study in the UK because of financial problems, we have already become an only and direct admission centre of the University of Chester and we will provide and arrange credit transfer facilities for some reputed universities in Sylhet and Bangladesh with the support from University Grant Commission (UGC). In that case, the students can study 2/3 years in Bangladeshi universities and then can finish final year in the UK which will save a significant amount of money and can easily gain a UK University Certificate. Moreover, we are going to be a full pledged centre of City & Guilds and will run only internationally recognized Teacher Training Courses for those who want to become an English Language teacher and want to step in to International Era of English language teaching with an international qualification. Our ESOL and TESOL will start simultaneously with IELTS. Thank you very much for your cooperation. I am looking forward to working with you. Best regards,
