Residential IELTS Course
Residential IELTS Course — Intensive exam preparation for school groups
Our Residential IELTS Course is designed for Thai school groups who want a focused and immersive learning experience in a safe and well-organised environment. Students travel together by coach with their teachers and stay in comfortable, on-site accommodation just a few steps from fully equipped classrooms.
The programme combines daily IELTS preparation classes with practical exam strategies, mock tests under timed conditions, and personalised feedback from experienced instructors. Lessons are adapted to your students’ current English level, with clear learning objectives that build skills in listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
Outside the classroom, students enjoy supervised activities and local excursions that give them opportunities to practise English in real situations. Cultural visits are chosen to support classroom learning and help students become familiar with the types of topics and contexts they may face in the IELTS exam.
Accommodation is full-board, with three freshly prepared meals a day served in the student dining area. All rooms are secure and comfortable, and classrooms are located in the same building, removing the need for daily travel. Teachers and group leaders are provided with private rooms and facilities.
This Residential IELTS Course is a closed-group programme, meaning your students will not be mixed with other schools. We work with you to set the course start date, programme length, and daily timetable so it fits your school calendar and academic goals.
Our aim is to give Thai school groups a concentrated, distraction-free IELTS preparation experience that helps students achieve measurable results in their exam.
Residential IELTS Course – Confidence, Accuracy, Results
Intensive IELTS Preparation
Each morning, students take part in structured IELTS preparation classes led by experienced instructors. From the very start, learners are carefully placed into groups based on both their current proficiency and the band score they are aiming for. This ensures that students working towards 5.5–6.0 build the foundations they need, while those aiming for 6.5–7.5+ are challenged with higher-level strategies and advanced academic English.
Lessons focus on all four areas of the IELTS test: Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. Teachers introduce proven exam techniques, such as recognising distractors in listening, skimming and scanning efficiently in reading, structuring essays with clarity and cohesion, and speaking with fluency and confidence.
Mock tests are included throughout the week to give students experience under real exam conditions. After each test, instructors provide individual feedback, highlighting areas for improvement and giving practical tips that can be applied in the next lesson.
Take Your Official IELTS Test at ILC Hua Hin
At the end of your programme, you can take the official IELTS test on site at the International Language Centre. No transfers, no unfamiliar exam venue — just the same calm, familiar building where you’ve been studying.
If you book with a group of 30 students or more, we can host the paper-based IELTS test at our centre. For smaller groups or individual students, the computer-based IELTS test will be available on site. Both formats are fully approved and delivered in partnership with the British Council.
When you book your course and test together, you’ll also receive full access to IELTS Ready — the British Council’s official preparation platform. This gives you online practice tests, instant feedback, and expert tips to support your one-to-one coaching and ensure you’re confident on exam day.

During the excursion, students complete simple language tasks and collect information to use in follow-up speaking or writing lessons. For example, they may:
- Write an IELTS-style Task 1 report about what they saw
- Compare cultural practices in a Speaking Part 3 discussio
