PTE Academic - The Preparation Course London

The PTE Academic is a qualification recognised by British Universities and the British immigration authorities (UKBA). If your aim is to study a higher education degree course in Britain, then this is a great choice for you.

The ​PTE Academic test is a recent rival to similar and well-known English tests, which have been established for much longer. However, the fact that the  Pearson Test of English (PTE) is relatively new, should not be seen as a disadvantage because it is already accepted by over 95% of UK universities.

There are also two huge advantages in favour of taking the test:
1 It can be booked at extremely short notice - online 48 hours in advance or by phone just 24 hours in advance.
2 Your results are returned very quickly - within 5 working days.

In comparison, IELTS (the biggest competitor to the PTE Academic) must be booked much further in advance and test results are not posted until at least 13 days after the date of your examination. If this is on a weekend or a national holiday, then it could be even longer. Therefore, if you need to urgently have certified proof of a recognised English qualification, then the PTE is definitely the correct option. As a result, it is becoming the best choice for thousands of people worldwide, due to the benefits of being extremely flexible and exceptionally easy to organise a ‘retake’.

At the SGI English school, here in London, we offer an intensive PTE Academic Course for all levels from pre-intermediate (A2) to upper intermediate (B2). The content combines broad academic and general English study in the morning (9.15 – 12.45), with more focussed concentration on the PTE aspects in the afternoon (13.30pm – 15.00).

At the London school, all the SGI exam English courses, you will improve all your English skills, but there is a priority and special attention is placed on improving writing. Most students need to boost their capability to be able to produce high-level academic essays in which they are able to argue an opinion, report on research findings and make understandable, valid points on educational topics.

The Pearson Test of English has also a strong emphasis on communication. You will learn how to debate in a formal discussion and understand the most important details from listening to a college lecture. Of course, your reading skills will also be upgraded, as through guided practice with your teacher, you will become competent in quickly extracting the key information from long and difficult academic texts.
We truly believe that the SGI PTE Academic Course is the best option for fully preparing you to enter UK higher education.
