How does it work?
Road to IELTS is organised by skill. There is no set learning path; teachers or learners can choose the order in which they tackle the four key resources within each skill area:
- Starting out: an eBook introducing each paper and explaining task types.
- Advice and tutorial videos: experts explain the best way to prepare for IELTS.
- Practice zone: candidates practise tackling the various question types, pick up exam tips and familiarise themselves with the exam format.
- Test practice: candidates simulate the test experience with three full mock tests in each of the Reading, Writing, and Listening papers.
Progress functions
As learners work through Road to IELTS, the Progress function enables them to monitor their activity, and compare their performance with other users. They can even predict their scores in the Reading and Listening tests using our interactive widget.
Most candidates need all the help they can get while preparing for this crucial test. Give your candidates the unique advantage they deserve – with the British Council’s Road to IELTS.

System requirements
There is a choice of licence types: network or online. The main difference is how students will access the learning resources.
Network licence
The network version is installed within your institution and can be accessed by students only on computers within the centre.

Online licence
The online version is available to students from any computer with access to the Internet. Students simply go to the site and log in. If you are using Results Manager (Learner Tracking licence), their scores will be kept on a central database which you, as a teacher, can similarly access from any computer connected to the Internet.

If you plan to use the program solely within the institution, you should choose the network version; if you would like to integrate the resource into post-class or homework activities, you need the online version.
