IELTS is an exam for people who want to use English for a specific purpose. For example, if you want to study at an English-speaking university, you should do the IELTS academic test. If you want to immigrate to countries such as Canada or Australia, you should do the IELTS general test. With the academic course, you'll develop the skills you need to write academic essays, read academic papers and follow lectures and presentations. With the general course, you'll develop the skills you need to live and work in an English-speaking country. Some people choose to do an IELTS course because they want an English qualification on their CV that's different to the FCE or the CAE. Most people do the IELTS because they want to attend a university or college in an English-speaking country or because they need it for a work visa application. One great thing about the IELTS test is that you can't fail it. It's what's called a "thermometer test". Obviously, if you want to immigrate to an English-speaking country or do a third level course in one, you're going to need to be a band score of between 5 and 7, depending on the visa you are applying for. Nursing degree courses require you to have a Band Score of 5.5. Law degrees require a band score of between 6.5 and 7. Whatever your purpose in doing an IELTS course you can be sure that you will improve in your four core skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing :)

In less than a minute I'm going to tell you why it's a good idea to do an FCE course. But first, can you answer a couple of questions? How did you do? You're probably like lots of people who've learned English and reached an upper intermediate or advanced level. But with so many people speaking English around the world, are you sure you're speaking "English English"? What is English English? It's the English, Londoners, New Yorkers, Canadians, Australians, Kiwis and Irish people speak. It's not Spanish, Korean or Italian English. The FCE is an internationally recognised certificate. Whether you want to have a qualification on your CV or you want to use English when you travel, doing an FCE course will help you to improve your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills, and, very importantly, make the English you speak more ... English.

How good is your English? Do you want to find out? The best reason for doing a CAE exam course is because you know it will help you improve your ability not only to speak English at an advanced level, but also to listen to and understand it, to read and understand it and to write it all at an advanced level. Having a CAE certificate will ensure you entry to undergraduate and postgraduate courses at English-speaking universities. It will also facilitate your visa application in countries such as the UK and Australia. It could also help you get your foot in the door at many large multinational companies around the world. The CAE exam is different to the IELTS exam because you can only do it you're already an advanced or near-advanced English speaker. It's the most comprehensive assessment available of whether you have all the language skills an advanced English speaker needs.
The CAE, or Cambridge Advanced Examination provides the most comprehensive assesment that an Advanced or near Advanced speaker needs. Click HERE for more information.
