Now, Get IELTS Coaching at a Minor Cost!

IELTS coaching institute in Kurali, While hundreds of youth from low-income families await the state government's announcement of free International English Language Testing System (IELTS) coaching, the District Defence Services Welfare Office in Kurali has already launched a similar initiative.

In the coming days, the office has announced that it will offer IELTS coaching at a low cost. The youth will receive 45-day coaching in all IELTS modules as part of the scheme. A ward of serving defence personnel or an ex-serviceman will be charged Rs5,000, while others will be charged Rs6,000.

"For Rs10,000 per month, private centres provide the same coaching." No good private institute in the city charges less than Rs15,000 for a 45-day course, so anyone who comes to us for training will save at least Rs10,000. "With the approval of the Punjab Governor, we are offering the scheme," said Deputy Director, District Defence Services Welfare Office.

"We've already hired a properly trained and competent staff for the course," he continued. We will provide much better training than any other privately run facility in the city."

"On Monday morning, we called all interested candidates to show them all of the facilities so they could be sure before filling out forms," an instructor said. We'll hold a webinar for those who are stationed far away and are unable to contact us, and we'll answer any questions they may have."

Several colleges, too, are operating IELTS training centres in the city of foreign crazy students, claiming to offer the courses at nominal rates. Voyage Consultants has had an IELTS coaching institute for a few years, and the Voyage Institute launched Voyage Consultant Services last year to capitalise on the youth and encourage them to enrol in various short-term add-on courses that are in demand abroad.

Similarly, the state government announced in 2018 that government school students in Classes XI and XII would receive free IELTS training in 1,000 schools across Punjab, but the scheme received little support because the training level did not match that of private institutes.

"Our programme was not aimed at sending the children abroad by making them IELTS ready," an English teacher from one of the schools where the course was launched said. It was just that the acronym for our course, Interactive English Language Training for Students, was the same. We simply wanted to improve the students' interactive English skills, and the results were positive."

Previously, former CM Parkash Singh Badal sent 50 English teachers from Punjab to Canada in 2014 to receive IELTS training, and they were deployed by the Congress government during the previous tenure for the course.

Still, the demand for IELTS teachers is not met as per the requirement, hence the private institutes mushroomed at a much faster rate. Due to their higher fees, many genuine students could not get authentic IELTS training from rural areas.

Identifying this gap Voyageconsultant was introduced, it is a low-cost IELTS coaching institute in Kurali.
