IELTS Coaching for Study Abroad
Expert IELTS coaching for Indian students who want to study abroad. Learn the test format, build all four skills and practise with regular mock tests, so you reach the band score your university and visa need.
The English test that opens doors abroad
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) checks how well you can listen, read, write and speak in English. It is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP and Cambridge, and is accepted by thousands of universities, employers and immigration departments in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Ireland and Europe.
At UniLife Abroad, IELTS coaching is part of your full study abroad plan. We first check your level and the score your target universities ask for, then build a study plan that gets you there, while the same team handles your admission and visa.
- Coaching for IELTS Academic and General Training
- A target band linked to your university shortlist

IELTS Academic or General Training?
Both tests have the same Listening and Speaking sections. Reading and Writing are different.
IELTS Academic
For bachelor's, master's and PhD admission at universities and colleges abroad, and for some professional registrations. Reading and Writing use academic topics, charts and graphs.
IELTS General Training
For work, training programmes and migration to countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Reading and Writing use everyday and workplace topics.
IELTS for UKVI
The same test taken at an approved centre, needed for some UK visa applications, such as certain courses below degree level. We tell you if your course needs it.

The full test takes about 2 hours 45 minutes. Speaking may be on the same day or within a week.
