IELTS
General.
For migration, work, and training in English-speaking countries — Academix prepares you for every section of the test with live coaching, realistic mocks, and personal feedback on your writing and speaking.
Every section, explained.
Built for the everyday English you’ll use abroad — letters, workplace materials, and real-life situations. Open a topic to see how IELTS General Training works and what to expect on test day.
What is IELTS General Training?
IELTS General Training measures your everyday English in a practical, work-and-life context rather than an academic one. It is the test recognised for migration to the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and for secondary education or work-training programmes. Your overall score is reported on a band scale from 0 to 9.
What is IELTS General Listening?
The Listening section has 40 questions across four recordings — everyday conversations, monologues and discussions you would meet in social and workplace settings. It takes about 30 minutes plus transfer time.
What is IELTS General Reading?
The Reading section uses notices, advertisements, workplace documents and longer factual texts — the kind of material you read day to day. You answer 40 questions in 60 minutes.
What is IELTS General Writing?
The Writing section has two tasks in 60 minutes. Task 1 is a letter — formal, semi-formal or personal — responding to a situation. Task 2 is a short opinion essay on a general topic. We coach structure, tone and the language each task rewards.
What is IELTS Speaking?
Speaking is a face-to-face interview with a certified examiner in three parts — a short introduction, a long turn on a given topic, and a two-way discussion. It lasts 11 to 14 minutes and is the same for General Training and Academic candidates.
Who is IELTS General Training for?
Choose General Training if you are migrating, applying for a work visa, or enrolling in training and secondary education abroad. If you are applying to a university or for professional registration, you will usually need the Academic module instead — ask us and we’ll point you to the right test.

Got my band for Canada
The letter-writing coaching made Task 1 feel easy, and the speaking mocks calmed my nerves. I hit Band 7.5 on my first attempt for my PR application.
Highly recommended
The mock tests felt exactly like the real IELTS General. Practising reading under timed conditions made a huge difference on test day.
Supportive every step
The trainers are patient and the recorded classes meant I never missed a lesson. The personal feedback on my writing was the thing that pushed my score up.
