Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment English, who
together provide official preparation materials for Cambridge
English Qualifications and IELTS (International English Language
Testing System) have partnered with Kaplan Test Prep, a premier
provider of educational services, to deliver livestreamed and
online preparation courses for IELTS. Using official Cambridge
IELTS content from Cambridge Assessment English - the producer of
the test - the courses provide comprehensive preparation at a time
and pace that suits the learner.
The livestreamed course begins in July, while the online IELTS
preparation course launches in August. Both are available for
enrollment now.
More than 3.5 million IELTS tests are taken each year, making it
the world's most popular high-stakes English language test for
higher education admissions and global migration. IELTS scores are
trusted by over 10,000 organizations globally, including over 3,400
academic institutions in the United States. IELTS is designed to
test the language ability of people who want to study or work where
English is used as the language of communication, and is jointly
owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge
Assessment English.
Pamela Baxter, CEO at Cambridge Exams Publishing, producer of
official Cambridge preparation materials, explained, “Learners will
now be able to get the best of our IELTS preparation materials
delivered with the flexibility to suit their busy lives. With these
courses, learners can be confident they are getting the most out of
their preparation time.”
“We are excited to partner with Cambridge University Press and
Cambridge Assessment English to develop these new offerings for
English language learners worldwide,” said Steven Marietti,
President, Licensure division, Kaplan Test Prep. “The courses will
combine Kaplan’s unparalleled student-focused expertise in test
preparation, learning science, digital learning and instruction
with their unique combination of expertise in teaching, learning
and assessment.”
This builds on more than 35 years of experience and expertise
