Five questions
Nigerians ask before they start.
We've coached for fifteen years. The same five questions land every Monday morning. Here they are, answered straight, no hedging, no upsell.
Question not below?
Reach the team directly. We reply fast on WhatsApp, phone and email during working hours.
Ask Mafit Anything01 Which test should I actually sit, IELTS, TOEFL, PTE or CELPIP?
For most Nigerians, the answer is IELTS, it's accepted by universities, employers and professional bodies across the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland and Europe, and it's the test we know best as the Best IELTS Centre in Nigeria.
TOEFL iBT is the usual choice for US university admissions. PTE Academic is widely accepted by universities in Australia, the UK and beyond. CELPIP is a fully computer-based English test accepted in Canada and Australia.
If you're not sure, book a free diagnostic. We'll look at your goal and your starting level, then tell you exactly which test gives you the smoothest path.
02 How long does it take to actually prepare?
It depends on your starting level, which is exactly what the free diagnostic measures.
Already strong? A focused three to four weeks is often enough to polish technique and lift your band.
Typical first-timer? Our free lectures, 6 to 8 weeks for IELTS, are built around this stage, structured, mock-heavy, and aimed straight at the higher bands.
Building from the ground up? Give it a little longer and lean on the one-on-one option.
The most common mistake is over-estimating your starting point. Sit the free diagnostic first, then we'll give you a timeline you can actually trust.
03 Is it really free, and what's the score guarantee?
Yes. Our lectures, computer-based mock tests and computer-lab access are free, online or at our campuses. It's how we've trained over 5,000 Nigerians since 2011.
On top of that, our score guarantee means if you complete the full programme, every class, every mock, and still fall short of your target, you train again with us at no extra cost.
The only thing we don't cover is the official exam fee. The coaching is on us.
04 Where are you, and how does online work if I'm not nearby?
We have three campuses: Ikeja (Lagos), Central Business District (Abuja) and Rumuomasi (Port Harcourt). Walk in for a free diagnostic and free lectures.
Anywhere else in Nigeria, Ibadan, Owerri, Asaba, Enugu, Jos, Benin City, Calabar, Uyo, Warri, Kano, Kaduna and beyond, you can join a live online class. Same coaches, same curriculum, same mock schedule, streamed to your screen.
You also get free access to our computer lab and computer-based mock tests whenever you can reach a campus.
05 What will the whole journey cost me?
The biggest cost in most prep journeys, the coaching, is free with Mafit. Free lectures, free mock tests, free lab access.
What you do pay is the official exam fee, set by the test owner (for example the British Council or IDP for IELTS). Register through us with our discount code and you pay less than the standard fee.
Add a small buffer in case you choose to re-sit, and that's it. We keep your out-of-pocket cost as low as possible, that's why we're known for the most affordable path in Nigeria. Ask us for the current exam fee and any active discount code.
Your target score.
Just one phone call away.
You've already done the maths. The prep is free. Our discount code takes the exam below the standard fee. Waiting another year costs more than both. Book the diagnostic or start the next class.
