Course Curriculum: IELTS Boot Camp

Course Overview

The Foundation EDU IELTS Boot Camp is an intensive four-week course that carousels through the four essential skills assessed on the exam: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. Each course is lead by the best and most highly-qualified American English/Language Arts teachers, and these teachers are each supported by college students from elite American universities.

The online boot camp emphasizes practice, feedback, reflection, and discussion, and is supported by a structured, proven methodology that ensures that graduates will excel when it comes time to take the exam.

The textbook for this course, The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS (for academic and general training), offers a comprehensive program that, in the hands of the best teachers, will ensure the best results. It also includes eight practice tests that students can take independently or with the assistance of teachers and their assistants during two Saturday workshops.
