Manila, Philippines – The British Council, the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, recently announced a series of mini fairs on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), bringing global opportunities closer to Filipinos in key cities in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
IELTS is a widely accepted English test taken by students and professionals who want to study, work, and live abroad. It is recognised by over 12,500 organisations and institutions worldwide in over 140 countries.
The IELTS Mini Fair, co-presented by The Travel Club, will bring together a diverse range of partners from education, employment, and migration, allowing participants to consult with experts, meet industry professionals, and network with like-minded individuals.
Samantha Smith, Regional Director for Exams of the British Council, shares, “We organise IELTS Fairs to provide everyone with the opportunity to engage in face-to-face conversations with us and our partners about unlocking their future potential abroad. Together with our partners, we look forward to meeting and helping these hopefuls carve a better path for themselves.”
Participants who register onsite can save as much as 10% on their IELTS test fee. IELTS Mini Fairs goers can also win free vouchers for the IELTS Ready Premium, an online course that is exclusively accessible for British Council test takers designed to engage and improve all four language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. There will be a demo station for the said online course during the mini fairs for anyone to try and explore.
