Not every PTE candidate has months to prepare. Many students approach IPT Brisbane with urgent needs such as visa deadlines, university cut-offs, job requirements, or recently booked test dates.
For such cases, we offer 1-Week and 2-Week Intensive PTE Courses designed for rapid and high-impact score improvement within a short timeframe.
These are not trial sessions. They are structured and results-driven preparation programs focused on strategy execution, correction, and exam readiness.
Who Are These Intensive Courses For?
These courses are ideal for:
- Students with good English but weak PTE strategy
- Candidates correcting errors from a recent PTE attempt
- Test-takers targeting 50+, 65+, or 79+
- PR applicants with tight timelines
- Students who have already booked their PTE
- Busy professionals and last-minute candidates
Is 1 week enough?
The answer to this question depends on your current level, target score, and recent mock performance. For students close to their target, 1-2 weeks is often sufficient.

Why IPT Brisbane’s Intensive Courses Work
- High-Impact Task Prioritisation
We focus on tasks that move scores fastest, such as Repeat Sentence, Describe Image, Retell Lecture, and SGD/RTS.
- Collocation & Grammar Fixes
Most score losses come from collocation gaps, grammar errors, and word-form confusion. These are targeted aggressively using focused drills.
- Real Mock Tests Under Exam Conditions
Students complete mock tests with timing control, scoring simulation, and detailed performance breakdowns to identify weak areas instantly.
- Personalised Feedback
Feedback is specific and actionable. It identifies exact error types and does not offer vague advice.
