We are a British Council IELTS centre and an authorised ETS test centre, so you prepare and sit with the same team. We prepare you for the score your course and visa need.
Tests for AustraliaTwo big doors.
Australia mainly opens twice a year, with a small third intake at some providers. The trick is timing your run.
Semester 1
The main intake, with the widest choice of courses and the most places. Apply well ahead.
Semester 2
A strong second intake with a good range of programs and a little less pressure.
Third intake
A smaller, limited intake at some institutions, useful for specific courses.
Not our first journey.
We have been guiding Nigerian students abroad since 2011, and we bring that whole team to your Australia plan.
