work, and live abroad. It is recognised by over 12,500 organisations and institutions worldwide
in over 140 countries.
The IELTS Mini Fair, co-presented by The Travel Club, will bring together a diverse range of
partners from education, employment, and migration, allowing participants to consult with
experts, meet industry professionals, and network with like-minded individuals.
Samantha Smith, Regional Director for Exams of the British Council, shares, “We organise
IELTS Fairs to provide everyone with the opportunity to engage in face-to-face conversations
with us and our partners about unlocking their future potential abroad. Together with our
partners, we look forward to meeting and helping these hopefuls carve a better path for
themselves.”

Fairs goers can also win free vouchers for the IELTS Ready Premium, an online course that is
exclusively accessible for British Council test takers designed to engage and improve all four
language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. There will be a demo station for the
