---

We have registered, trained, and prepared over 35,000 people for the IELTS tests in Abuja and Port Harcourt since 2008.

Surprised, right?

The good news is that we have consistently maintained an average performance band of over 8.0, a feat several training centres in Abuja, Port Harcourt and across the country cannot boast of.

And to ensure you enjoy the same success, in this post, we shared everything we did to make it possible.

If it’s what you want, then let’s get started.

How we helped 35,000 people to pass their IELTS tests in a sitting

Whether you are taking the IELTS test for migration to the UK, Canada, or the United States, to study abroad for undergraduate or postgraduate degrees or take up oversea jobs, Bivent Education offers comprehensive IELTS registration and prep classes that enable people to improve their outcome.

Our prep classes and learning methodologies are designed to help people pass IELTS in a single sitting with over 8.0.

Wondering what these methodologies are?

Let’s dive in.

1. Flexible Class schedules

Attending preparatory classes is very important to pass an IELTS test, of course, any international exam.

We understand that people are not the same, some are busier than others, and their nature of work and other engagements vary.

So, we developed a scheduling structure that makes it easier for people to attend prep classes.

Our carefully designed IELTS schedules are flexible, allowing people to select any that suits them and switch schedules anytime. 

Below is what our schedules look like.

2. Online learning support

We believe people should learn at their own pace, in a non-threatening environment, anytime and anywhere.

So, we developed a highly interactive online learning support platform.

On this platform, they can access all training materials online, stream live lessons, receive and submit assignments, and practice past questions.

And the good thing is that they can do all these without data after using the platform for the first time.

Our platform is designed to permit unlimited practice. This means people can continue learning a concept repeatedly until they master it. 

Of course, this feature allows people to develop all-around competence across the 4 IELTS modules- listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The platform is undergoing a massive upgrade and will be back online soon.

3. Unlimited IELTS past questions

Of course, you might not believe this.

But the truth is, we have one of the largest collections of IELTS past questions in the country, which has been instrumental to our success stories.

I don’t think any IELTS centre in the country currently can rival our collections of past questions. We make these practice papers available to our students when they register for IELTS with us to acquaint them with the test.

Aside from providing them with hard copies, our students could also access the practice papers online. This ensures that they continue learning at all times.

4. Extensive learning materials

While we always make available all essential practice papers to our students, we also ensure that they have access to every learning material they would need to pass the IELTS test in a sitting.

We usually make these materials available immediately so they can begin their learning process without delay.

Of course, the difference between other training centres and us is that we also make our learning materials available online for our students on our e-learning platform.

This ensures that our students continue to learn anytime, any day, even on their way home from work.

5. Simulated test environment

Again, unlike other IELTS training centres, we don’t rush our people into the test halls.

At the end of their prep classes, we simulate the test environment under strict IELTS test conditions to give them the exact feel of the entire test atmosphere.

This helps to build their confidence for the real test and acquaint them with the test patterns.

In addition to the near-test experience, our simulation assessment is designed to help us identify all possible weaknesses, enabling our instructors to provide more personalized help to each student before they take the real test.
