Get IELTS Certified With The British Council Philippines!

A world-class English language training centre for every Filipino 

For  many  Filipinos,  a  life  abroad  is  a  life  brimming  with  possibilities,  and  dreams  of studying,  working,  and  living  in  another  country  are  dreams  worth  chasing.  To  make these  a  reality,  one  of the  requirements  is  taking a  language assessment  test  to prove they  can  speak  the  language  used  in  the  country  they  want  to  go  to.  For  English- speaking  countries,  this  means  taking  tests  like  the  International  English  Language Testing System (IELTS) test. 

The IELTS test, like other English language tests, requires preparation for takers to be able to achieve their desired scores. The British Council, one of the co-owners of IELTS, provides  test  takers  with  support  and  guidance  for  taking  their  IELTS  test,  including centres where they can get the necessary support and resources to help them prepare for the test. 

On May 18, 2018, the British Council launched the Learning Hub. It is a new centre for learning English and preparing for English tests, particularly IELTS, where individuals can  avail  of  reliable  resources  and  high-quality  services  that  can  help  them  better prepare for their test and achieve their best possible IELTS score. 

“The British Council Learning Hub is a creative and inclusive space for individuals to gain new knowledge and skills that help improve their performance in the IELTS test, in turn enabling them to reach their goals,” said  Nick Thomas, Director for British Council in the Philippines.  “It  makes  use  of  the  British  Council’s  75  years  of  experience  in  English language  teaching  and  assessment  to  provide  a  world-class  facility  for  improving  one’s English proficiency.” 

Among  the  Learning  Hub’s  offers  are  the  IELTS  One-day  Preparation  Workshop, which  familiarises  takers  with  the  test;  IELTS  Exceed  Writing  Workshop,  which prepares  takers  for  the  writing  part  of  the  test;  IELTS  Pre-tests,  a  simulation  of  the actual test; IELTS Orientation, which discusses the test format, modules and question types in the test; and the IELTS Library, where registered IELTS test takers can access IELTS books, practise test materials, audio CDs, and other resources. 

Aside  from  these,  individuals  can  also  avail  of  numerous  online  resources  which  they can access anytime and anywhere.

“The British Council Learning Hub is a testament to the British Council’s commitment  to provide  the  assistance  the  test  takers  need  to  get  their  best  possible  score  in  IELTS.  By delivering that, we help them realise their dreams and achieve their goals of studying at a university overseas, working for a multinational company or starting a new life abroad,” explained Nick Thomas.
