Questions about this course

Is Seven Academy an official IELTS partner?

No. Seven Academy is independent of the organisations that own and run IELTS. The course is professional development for teachers and does not award IELTS scores.

Do I need to have taught IELTS before?

No, but you should be an experienced English teacher with a strong level of English yourself.

Does the course cover both Academic and General Training?

The main focus is Academic, because most students in Türkiye need it for university entry. Differences in the General Training papers are covered too.
