Experienced Turkish and native English-speaking tutors
Our team is made up of experienced Turkish tutors and native English-speaking tutors. We have been preparing candidates for IELTS since 2008, and our teaching is built around the test's four official assessment criteria.
Is the course fee the same as the IELTS exam fee?
Short answer
No, they are two separate payments. The amounts on this page are preparation fees. To sit the test, you also pay an exam fee to the British Council or IDP; we don't set that fee and we don't collect it. You prepare with us and book your test directly with the test provider.
| What is being compared | Course / private lesson fee | IELTS exam fee |
|---|---|---|
| Who is it paid to? | IELTS Istanbul | The British Council or IDP |
| What is it for? | Preparation before the test | Sitting the test and receiving your Test Report Form |
| Is it compulsory? | No, it's your choice | Yes, you can't sit the test without it |
Check the current exam fee and test dates on the test provider's own website, as the fee changes more than once a year: British Council Turkey · IDP IELTS Turkey
We explain what the fee depends on, and what to keep in mind when budgeting, on our IELTS exam fee in Turkey page.
