What IELTS is, and why it matters
- Accepted by thousands of institutions worldwide
- Four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking
- Scored on a 0–9 band scale, valid for two years
The four modules
Listening
Recordings play once only. On the computer-delivered test you get 2 minutes at the end to review your answers — not the 10-minute transfer window paper candidates used to have.
Reading
Academic uses three long passages from journals, books and periodicals. General Training uses shorter workplace and everyday texts in the first two sections, then one longer passage in the third.
Writing
Task 1 is a report describing a chart, graph or diagram (Academic) or a letter (General Training). Task 2 is an essay in both modules, and it carries twice the weight of Task 1.
Speaking
A face-to-face interview with a certified examiner — this part has not changed. Part 1 covers introduction and familiar topics, Part 2 is a two-minute talk from a cue card, Part 3 is a longer discussion.
IELTS is now computer-delivered in Pakistan
Since March 2026, all standard IELTS testing in Pakistan — through both the British Council and IDP — is delivered on computer. The paper-based option has been withdrawn nationwide, and the same shift is happening globally from mid-2026.
- Listening, Reading and Writing are completed on a computer at the test centre
- Speaking remains a face-to-face interview with a certified examiner
- The format, question types, scoring and worldwide recognition are unchanged
- Results are typically available within 3–5 business days
- One Skill Retake lets you resit a single module instead of the whole test
Our training is built around the on-screen format — you'll practise typing essays, working with the on-screen highlighter, and managing the real 2-minute Listening review window.
Understanding band scores
Requirements vary by institution and visa category — always confirm the exact band your target university or immigration authority asks for.
Choose the right version
IELTS Academic
For university admission and professional registration. Reading and Writing draw on academic sources and tasks.
IELTS General Training
For work, migration and everyday communication — used for Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and UK immigration.
IELTS for UKVI
A Secure English Language Test required for certain UK visa categories. Available only in the fully digital format.
How the course runs
Initial assessment
Every enrolled student sits a diagnostic assessment to determine their proficiency level, so the trainer knows exactly which modules need the most work before training begins.
Core training
Monday to Friday, 7:30–8:30 PM. Sessions are one-to-one, so the pace and focus follow your assessment rather than a fixed class syllabus. All four modules are covered, with strategy work on question types and timing.
Mock tests
Five days of full mock tests under timed conditions, each followed by feedback so you know precisely where marks are being lost.
Business Communication
One free Business Communication class per week, roughly — useful well beyond the test itself.
10-day extension
Students may receive an additional 10-day extension based on performance and trainer evaluation.
What's included
- One-to-one sessions for every student — no group classes
- Initial diagnostic assessment
- Five days of mock tests with feedback
- Free weekly Business Communication class
- Systems and headsets provided at the BGMC facility
- Possible 10-day extension on trainer evaluation
Fees
The IELTS test fee is separate. You pay it directly to the British Council or IDP when you book your test date. Fees change and vary by city and test type, so confirm the current amount on the official booking page before paying.
Before you enrol
Do I need a minimum level of English to join?
No fixed entry requirement. Every student takes a diagnostic assessment first, and the training plan is built around that result — so the starting point is wherever you actually are.
Is the course fee the same as the test fee?
No. The PKR 35,000 covers your training with BGMC. The IELTS test itself is booked and paid for separately through the British Council or IDP. Confirm the current test fee on their official booking page.
What happens if I need more time?
Students may receive an additional 10-day extension after the four-week programme, based on performance and trainer evaluation.
Do you help with test registration?
Talk to our team — we'll walk you through which test type applies to your target institution and what the booking process involves.
Are classes in a group or one-to-one?
Every student gets personalised one-to-one sessions. Classes run Monday to Friday, 7:30–8:30 PM, physically at the BGMC facility, where systems and headsets are provided.
