Enrolment Orientation

Pre-departure Orientation Sessions

Embarking on a journey abroad is an opportunity to immerse oneself in a new culture. As the leading study abroad consultancy in Kerala, we prioritize providing students with a comprehensive pre-departure orientation session to acquaint them with the culture and customs of their chosen country. This phase equips students with essential information necessary for a seamless transition to life abroad.

The pre-departure orientation session commences following the approval of the student visa by the embassy and the attestation of their passports. During this training, students gain insights into the rules and expectations of the host country, including behavioural norms. Additionally, guidance is provided on essential items to purchase from their home country before arrival.

Our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring students feel comfortable and prepared for their new environment. We are committed to facilitating a smooth transition and enriching experience abroad.

PTE

PTE classes are specialized courses designed to prepare individuals for the Pearson Test of English (PTE) exam, an internationally recognized assessment of English language proficiency. These classes typically cover all sections of the PTE exam, including speaking, writing, reading, and listening, with a focus on improving language skills, test-taking strategies, and overall exam performance.

PTE classes are led by experienced instructors who are knowledgeable about the exam format and requirements. They provide instruction, guidance, and feedback to help students enhance their English language abilities and excel in the PTE exam. Classes may include a combination of lectures, discussions, practice sessions, and mock tests to simulate the exam environment and assess students’ progress.

Key features of PTE classes may include:

Comprehensive Curriculum: A structured curriculum that covers all aspects of the PTE exam, including speaking fluency, writing coherence, reading comprehension, and listening comprehension.

Practice Materials: Access to a variety of practice materials, including sample questions, exercises, and mock tests, to help students familiarize themselves with the exam format and content.

Test-Taking Strategies: Instruction on effective test-taking strategies, time management techniques, and tips for approaching different question types to optimize performance on the PTE exam.

Individualized Support: Personalized instruction and feedback tailored to address students’ specific strengths, weaknesses, and learning goals.

Flexibility: Flexible class schedules and options to accommodate students’ diverse needs and preferences, including weekday, weekend, morning, and evening classes.

PTE classes are ideal for individuals who are planning to study, work, or migrate to English-speaking countries and need to demonstrate their English language proficiency for academic, professional, or immigration purposes. By participating in PTE classes, students can improve their language skills, boost their confidence, and increase their chances of achieving their desired score on the PTE exam.

GERMAN

Furthermore, proficiency in the German language is increasingly becoming essential for students aiming to pursue education and career opportunities in German-speaking countries like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Just like the IELTS, demonstrating proficiency in German through exams like TestDaF or the Goethe-Zertifikat can significantly enhance your chances of admission and scholarship opportunities in these countries. Therefore, it is equally important to prioritize preparation for language proficiency exams like the IELTS and German language exams to maximize your chances of success in your academic and professional pursuits abroad.

IELTS

The IELTS English language test is compulsory for those who intend to study in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. This test, which differs according to the country and university level in terms of strict eligibility standards, is an essential measure of language ability. Your IELTS score, which is a key eligibility criterion for admission and processing of visas, has an important role to play when it comes to obtaining free offers or student visas.

It cannot be underestimated the importance of a high IELTS score, as it significantly raises your chances to apply for visas and obtain them. A high IELTS score opens the door for several scholarships to financially support international students, as well as being an internationally recognised benchmark in English language skills assessment.

Exclusive scholarships offered by the British Council and IDP Education are available to students based on their IELTS Academic scores. Achieving a minimum band score of 6.5 to 7.5 makes you eligible for a scholarship ranging from $2,000 to $20,000. This financial support can cover various expenses, including tuition, course materials, living costs, and even travel expenses.

The importance of preparing for the IELTS exam is recognised by Grace Study Abroad, which is committed to providing comprehensive services. In addition to our all-inclusive services, Grace Study Abroad offers free IELTS abroad training in Kottayam as one of the best IELTS training centres in the world. We want to help you succeed, not just in clearing the IELTS test, but also improving your ability to speak English and prepare for a world of opportunities and successes.
