Head of Languages at Ecole des Mines d'Albi
To our surprise, the students really appreciate doing the IELTS
preparation - and having the diploma afterwards - as they too see
the range of skills as useful. There are no irrelevant vocabulary
or grammatical areas to learn - just the stuff to survive,
communicate and be operational in an academic or professional
context. We pride ourselves at EMAC on an extensive international
exchange programme, involving study-periods and work-placements
abroad for all our students at some point in their course with us.
The IELTS prepares those students well and enables us to monitor a
given student's readiness to go abroad.
