Who is the May 2027 IELTS group for?
- School year
- Lessons run from 17 May 2027 to 17 August 2027, on weekday evenings. That runs from spring into summer; the summer weeks fall when schools in much of Europe are on their long break, so plan trips around the lessons.
- Applications
- The course ends in late summer. For a programme starting in September or October the language deadline may be close, so book your test as soon as the course ends and allow for the time results take. Each institution sets its own minimum band and decides which IELTS formats (such as IELTS Online) it accepts.
- Planning
- After 25 topic lessons come 5 full mock exams between 18 July 2027 and 15 August 2027. Writing and Speaking carry on as weekly homework, so it pays to finish the mock weeks before you sit the real test.
Each institution decides which tests and which scores it accepts; check the page of each one you apply to.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I sit IELTS after the course?▾
The last mock review is on Tuesday 17 August 2027. IELTS has no single national test day, so you pick a later date and place from the test centres' calendars. The first Saturday after the course is 21 August 2027; ask your centre whether it has places that weekend.
When will my IELTS results arrive, and can I retake one skill?▾
IELTS says results come 1–5 days after a computer test, within 13 days on paper and 6–8 days after IELTS Online. After a computer test at a centre that offers it, IELTS One Skill Retake lets you retake one skill once within 60 days: test on Saturday 21 August 2027 and the last day for it is 20 October 2027.
How many mock exams does this group have, and when?▾
This group has 5 full IELTS mock exams: the first on Sunday 18 July 2027, the last on Sunday 15 August 2027. Each starts at 10:00 on a Sunday and is reviewed in the live lesson the following Tuesday, 19:00–20:30.
Are there days or weeks without lessons in this group?▾
Every week has lessons, but some days' lessons have moved to another day. There is no lesson on Monday 17 May 2027; it moves to Thursday 20 May 2027 at the same time (19:00). There is no lesson on Wednesday 19 May 2027; it moves to Saturday 22 May 2027 at the same time (19:00). It is still 30 live lessons.
When does the May 2027 IELTS class start?▾
It starts on 17 May 2027 and ends on 17 August 2027: 14 weeks. The enrolment deadline is 14 May 2027.
When and how are the lessons taught?▾
Lessons are taught live online on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The course has 45 hours of live teaching in all (Türkiye time). Every lesson is recorded, and you can watch the recording for 14 days.
How big are the groups?▾
A group course takes 24 students, taught in classes of at most 6 because the group is split by level. With so few students in a class, everyone gets to ask questions and have their work looked at.
How much is the IELTS group course?▾
The May 2027 class costs €806 as a single payment, or 2 monthly instalments of €425. Card payments are processed securely through Stripe. Eligible one-off payments also offer bank transfer; enrolment completes after our team confirms receipt. Instalments are paid by card only.
Can I get my money back if the course isn't for me?▾
Yes. If you're not happy after the first week, we refund 100% of the fee. After the first week, group course fees are not refunded. That's why the question bank and practice tests included with the course only open once the first week is over. We do not offer free trial lessons. Payment is required before your first lesson.
What happens if the group doesn't open?▾
A group opens when enough students have enrolled. If there are not enough enrolments, you choose what happens to your payment: a full refund, a place in the next group to start, or one-to-one lessons of the same value.
What if I miss a lesson?▾
Every live lesson is recorded. Watch the one you missed from your dashboard within 14 days of the lesson, and you'll keep pace with the group.
