IELTS bar is raised for IMGs

If you are an International Medical Graduate wishing to practise in the UK, you probably already know that four band 7s are no longer enough to register for the General Medical Council.

From 18 June, the Academic IELTS requirement is now a minimum of band 7 in each test with an overall score of 7.5.

This is also the same requirement for European doctors who are applying for a UK license. 

For qualified nurses and midwives coming to the UK from outside the EU, the IELTS requirement remains a minimum of band 7 in each test.

At iPass IELTS we specialise in helping medical professionals worldwide gain the IELTS scores required to be able to practise in the UK and other English-speaking countries.

IELTS is often the last obstacle preventing highly-skilled doctors and nurses from working in their profession and we are committed to helping them jump that final hurdle.

We are also very aware of the financial sacrifices many students have to make in order to reach their goal, which is why we are also determined to ensure that their investment in iPass is worthwhile and produces positive results.

Our mission is to provide high quality online tuition at affordable prices.

Our monthly special offers on selected courses are intended to suit all budgets, but it is important to remember that we never compromise on the quality of our teaching.

All of our online tutors are experienced native English teachers, who specialise in giving IELTS training and support.

So if you are a medical professional aiming for Band 7+ and need expert guidance to achieve that aim, we're sure you'll find the right course and the right offer at iPassIELTS.

"... the practice material on the ipassielts website really helped me to develop a good basis for my exam, especially for the listening and writing part, but what really made the difference were the online tutorials with teachers who know exactly what the examiners are looking for - as a result I improved my writing from 7.0 to 8.0. Not to mention that these tutorials offered unbelievably good value for the money!"

Are you following Phil on facebook?

This week Phil has been looking at 'phrasal verbs'.

Phrasal verbs are an essential part of everyday spoken and written English and can help you to sound much more natural in English.

Certainly, if you are aiming for Band 7 or above you should be using phrasal verbs as part of your normal speech.

Here's a quick test!

Do you know the meaning of these phrasal verbs?

Be careful because the definitions are not always literal!

1. Don't forget to look me up next time you come to Sydney.

2. He's a great role model for other students to look up to.

3. Have you had time to look over that report I gave you?

4. After receiving my complaint, they promised to look into the problem.

5. My older brother always looked out for me when I was a kid.

 

Check our facebook page for the answers next Friday, when you can also enter Phil's weekly competition to win a free course!
