Common Questions We Get Before Admission at CILL: Direct, Honest Answers

This is the most important question, and many people do not want to hear the answer. The truth is that if your English is weak and you do not fix it, you can keep doing IELTS or PTE for the rest of your life and a good score still will not come.

The reason is simple. IELTS and PTE both measure your real English: grammar, vocabulary, reading speed, listening comprehension, and how well you organise your own words in Writing and Speaking. Tricks and templates help a little, but they cannot cover a weak foundation.

So if your English is weak, we tell you directly that it has to be fixed first, whether you join us or not. That is our marketing policy.

This is what Full Membership is for. It starts from Basic English and improves your Grammar, Writing and Spoken English step by step. Once the foundation is ready, IELTS or PTE preparation begins. At the Basic stage you have classes 3 days a week and the Study Room 7 days a week. At the next stage, continuing English alongside IELTS or PTE means 5 to 6 classes a week.

Know your level first, then decide. You can take our free online Skill Test from home. It checks your Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading and Listening and shows your level. CILL has taught this way, checking skills first, from the beginning.

You can also try a free demo class, online or offline.

Yes. If your English foundation is good, you can take the Regular IELTS or PTE course directly. But do not guess what "fairly good" means. Many people overestimate their level, and later their score gets stuck. Check first with the free Skill Test (see question 2), then choose the right course.

The Regular IELTS or PTE course runs for 2 months, with classes 3 days a week.

Full Membership has no time limit. Repeat classes, the Study Room and teacher support continue until your English improves or you get your IELTS or PTE score.

One thing we say clearly: your score depends on regular practice and on following our instructions exactly. We show the way; the hard work is yours. The right skills, our experience and course, and regular practice: success comes when these three meet.

Suppose you cannot eat more than one plate of rice. If you are suddenly given 4 plates, digesting them is almost impossible. Learning works the same way. Attending one new topic after another every day is not real learning. Regular practice of what you have learned, following your teacher's instructions, is the real way to learn. That is why classes are 3 days a week, and the other days are for that practice.

In Writing and Speaking, your own mistakes are the hardest to catch. You may not even notice you are repeating the same one. This is where feedback from an experienced teacher helps most.

Our students get unlimited personal feedback on Writing and Speaking, and unlimited Mock Tests. However often you write or speak, it gets checked.

Sitting in class alone does not raise a score. What you learn in class needs regular practice. For this we have:

• Study Room: open 7 days a week, with its own library, for quiet practice.
• CILL IELTS Pro: our own IELTS app, with lessons for every skill, 8 computer-delivered mock tests and Bangla explanations in every teaching part.
• Skill Booster: an app for Grammar, Vocabulary, Collocation, Reading and Speaking practice, from Basic English up to PTE.

CILL built both apps itself. Neither is rented software.

Do not go by names. Look at the proof.
