As soon as you find out that you need to give proof of your English language proficiency at a certain level, you seek to take an English language test, such as IELTS, to achieve your target band score.

So you do things in a process, in an orderly fashion:

1. You test your level of English

2. You seek a qualified IELTS trainer to correlate your English level with the required band score

3. You go through the necessary English language training if needed to improve your language

4. You re-test your English level to confirm your new level correlation with the target band

5. You take IELTS test-taking skills training to get ready for the test

6. And once you're ready, you decide which location to go for, AEO or British Council?
