English Tests
The right qualification, prepared properly
English test preparation begins by confirming exactly which qualification or product the body receiving your result requires. Getting that wrong is the most expensive mistake in this area.
We are not an official test centre and we do not register you for any test. Acceptance of a result is always decided by the receiving institution or authority.
Availability, stated plainly
English test courses are enquiry-only and delivered by the Shaw Academics team, with marked writing and recorded speaking feedback included in each cycle.

Discussed at consultation, not yet sold as separate courses
These are described honestly rather than given their own pages. Nothing here is sold, and there are no “coming soon” links to nowhere.
TOEFL iBT
Planned. Any TOEFL course must account for the score and reporting changes introduced in January 2026, so nothing is sold until the current official guidance has been checked.
TOEIC
Planned. Listening and reading, and speaking and writing, are separate components and will be described accurately.
Other accepted qualifications
Added only where genuinely delivered and where the receiving body's published requirement can be checked.
Next step
Talk it through first
The consultation lasts about twenty minutes, costs nothing and takes no payment details. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you.
Our support is designed to strengthen your preparation. Universities, test providers and employers make their own decisions; admission, scores and employment cannot be guaranteed.
