These UK and Ireland based free, interactive seminars are aimed at staff working in IELTS stakeholder groups. If you work at a university or college, in immigration, for a professional registration body, or for an employer who uses IELTS, these seminars are for you.
The day will include the following series of presentations:
- an overview of IELTS – including test format, scoring system and content
- test validity and reliability – delivered by a representative of Cambridge Assessment English
- standard setting – a chance to see what the band scores really mean in terms of student performance
- security – an overview of the many aspects of IELTS security
- UKVI changes – an update on the current situation with regard to these changes.
Members of the IELTS team from the British Council and Cambridge Assessment English will be present. You will be able to network and discuss your situation with them during breaks.
The seminars are free of charge and include lunch and refreshments. Registration is from 09:30 until 10:00 and the seminars finish at 15:30.
