IELTS Preparation in Dhaka
Small batches, certified trainers and five full mock tests — at all three AGI offices. Built for students who need a real band score, not just attendance.
What is IELTS?
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the world's most widely accepted English test — required for student visas to Australia, the UK, Canada and New Zealand, and accepted by virtually every university in the USA. It is scored in bands from 1 to 9 across Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.
Most Bangladeshi applicants take IELTS Academic, on computer or paper, at British Council or IDP centres in Dhaka. Results arrive in 3–5 days (computer) or 13 days (paper).

New batch every monthFrequently asked questions
Computer-delivered: faster results (3–5 days), typed writing, more test dates. Paper suits students who prefer handwriting. Band scoring is identical; about 80% of our students now choose computer.
From a typical HSC English background, 6–10 weeks of structured practice usually lifts students 1.0–1.5 bands. Our diagnostic mock in week one tells you exactly where you stand.
You can repeat the full course at half fee, and IELTS One Skill Retake (available in Bangladesh) lets you re-sit just one module instead of the whole test.
Yes — the entire course fee is credited against your file-processing charges if you continue with AGI for admission and visa.
