Pathway Preparation:
For students aiming to enter one of CLLC's partner colleges or universities, CLLC Istanbul offers a Pathway Preparation course. This course builds academic English skills and prepares you for CLLC’s online or in-person University Pathway Program (UPP). The official UPP is 25‐hours per week and is a minimum of 10 weeks.
While the Pathway Preparation course takes place at CLLC Istanbul, CLLC's actual UPP is offered only through our online campus or in-person at our Canadian campuses. Completing the UPP allows you to enter our partner institutions without an external language exam like IELTS or TOEFL. CLLC Istanbul students can complete General English levels here and then enrol in the full‐time UPP online or complete the program in-person at one of CLLC's Canadian campuses.
Exam Preparation (IELTS/TOEFL)
Intensive preparation courses help students achieve the scores they need for university admission or migration. Courses run 4 weeks at 20 lessons per week and include practice tests, strategies and feedback. Small groups (maximum 12 students) ensure students get personalised support.
| Course | Weekly Price (USD) | Lessons/week | Notes |
| IELTS Preparation | $210 | 20 | Focus on Academic IELTS. |
