ILI offers a university pathway program (University Preparatory Program, also called UP-English) that leads academically qualified students to direct admission at the undergraduate level at one of ILI's eight associate universities without the need for an additional IELTS or TOEFL score. ILI’s UP Program provides an excellent foundation and prepares international students for the challenges they will encounter at university. Here is a listing of ILI’s associate universities: 

The Intensive English course offers year-round every Monday with 24 lessons. You will study 24 hours per week in ILI’s fulltime English Program. You will also have an additional 10 hours per week of teacher-supervised study time to help you consolidate what you have learned in class. During this time in the ILI Self-study Centre, your supervising teacher can give you individual help and guide the direction of your independent study. The General English Program will concentrate your learning experience in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

 

The full-time program has three parts:

 1. Language introduction and practice. The morning classes form the core of the program and have a balanced approach to all aspects of the language. They are also excellent preparation for IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL, or other standardized tests.
 2. Practical language skills. In these afternoon classes, you will develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. More advanced students can substitute an elective exam course for the Skills class (see "Exam Preparation "). We offer IELTS, and TOEFL classes.
 3. Informal help. Following afternoon classes, you can get help from a teacher, browse the Internet, or use books, computers, or audiotapes in ILI's Self-Study Centre.

Also, if you finish up to 2 years of language course and go to college, Children can continue on free education.
