BDS Institute is a pioneer in the field of IELTS over a decade now. We have one of the best results in the country and have also been awarded by British council and IDP for delievering the quality training.
Our IELTS course materials are developed only after undergoing an in-depth research and the coaching and training team is selected on the basis of our special selection process so that you get just the very best from us. In addition to this, each type of course is built around practical learning modules and our trainers are trained not only to incorporate practice time in the class duration but also to give home assignments and to evaluate them outside of the class schedule. Students are evaluated at the start of the preparation and then given study plans that suit each of them. A complete record of performance and participation of the student is maintained and is regularly assessed and reviewed by our senior faculty. Option tutoring centre, by evolving a very systematic coaching platform, has helped students secure very high bands on both versions of the test.
