THE BRITISH Council will hold an IELTS Fair in the cities of Baguio, Manila, Cebu and Davao in March.

The annual event brings together review centers, education agencies, immigration consultancies and recruitment firms from the British Council partner network to ensure that takers of the International English Language Testing System can take advantage of global opportunities by equipping them with the knowledge and resources that they need to succeed.

IELTS is a globally-recognized English assessment that helps millions of people study, work, and live abroad.

The British Council said it will bring the fair to multiple locations in the country to make it more accessible for test takers.

The fairs will take place from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. at Ion Hotel in Baguio City on March 4; Quest Hotel in Cebu City on March 11; Crowne Plaza, Ortigas Centre on March 18; and Pinnacle Hotel in Davao City on March 25.

“The British Council aims to help Filipinos take advantage of global opportunities that are very much available to them. Through events like the IELTS Fair, we provide tools and assistance to help as many people as we can to reach their goals,” Samantha Smith, British Council’s Regional Exams Manager in Southeast Asia, said.

Meanwhile, British Council Country Director Lotus Postrado said that they are thrilled to bring back the event after two years of postponing it due to Covid-19.

“The British Council has always been committed to bridging possibilities between the UK and the Philippines, and IELTS has been one of the many ways that we are able to do that. We’re glad to support Filipinos through our work, and we are excited to do more in the years ahead,” Postrado said.
