The English foundation + IELTS preparation course in the Czech Republic is created together by the International Union of Youth (MSM), the MSM Academy international language school, British Council in Prague and Czech University of Life Sciences (CULS).
This course is most suitable for students who want to study in English at public and private universities in Czech Republic and around the world.
The course includes intensive English language studies, IELTS preparation and exam at British Council. Also students study Czech language in small groups (no more than 17 students), which will be useful for their daily communication and integration in the Czech Republic. The classes are taught by qualified teachers from CULS and MSM Academy.
All students who want to study in university in English language must pass an IELTS exam in order to confirm their language skills. This is a must have for all foreign students. The IELTS certificate is also required if a student wants to get a visa to UK, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. It is also used for employment and immigration to the countries where English is a primary language for work and living.
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is currently the most objective way to measure English language skills since 1989 and to this day. The IELTS exam was developed by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English Language Assessment. Every year over a million candidates sit this exam in over 140 countries around the world. Every IELTS certificate is valid for 2 years.
