It was a great experience taking my IELTS exam at ETC Prairies even in the midst of a pandemic. The staff members were very professional, cordial and well organized towards hosting the test and allied services in a safe and secure manner. The preventive measures put in place, the guided instructions provided and the attitude of the staff members deserves recognition. Overall, the facility is very well maintained, with comfortable IT setup and parking access. I strongly recommend ETC Prairies as a go-to test center for future ELP test takers.

I took a paper-delivered Academic IELTS exam at ETC Prairies in Calgary on June 19, 2021. I am happy with their communication approach before, during and after the exam. The invigilators' team were working cohesively and professionally. I commend their due diligence, too. All the above items helped me to take the listening, reading and writing exams in a bit more relaxed way.It would be remiss of me not to mention the smooth administration of the speaking exam by my examiner.Last but not least, thank you very much for the appropriate amount of refund within a couple of days following the cancellation of another exam that I had to do because of my overlapping commitments. Keep up the wonderful job, ETC Prairies!!Binyam

Staff was friendly.However please keep in mind a few things…At this location you will not be allowed to bring literally anything with you. They took my hoodie (it had a zipper) , they said it was warm enough inside, which it wasn’t so I was sick for another week after. So wear something that you put on over your head and it doesn’t have a zipper or buttons.Other thing was I brought a bottle of water which was not transparent, so they made me leave it behind too. Of course they do not provide test takers with any water (like a case of water from Costco would cost a fortune). I’ll leave it up to your judgement whether it’s ok to go for 3 hours without a single sip of water in a stressful environment. So bring a transparent bottle.Last but not least, I could not even take any of my feminine hygiene products with me, let alone Tylenol. Considering that 3 out of 4 staff members were women, that was super strange to find out. So girls, if you are on your period and taking your IELTS at Prairies, it is your problem alone. Apparently you’ll have to hold it or whatever…To some point I understand they do not make the rules but some of that was kinda brutal. I have taken IELTS before, and it was nothing like this.P.S.: Even thought it is not illegal for them to ask everyone to leave a 5-star on google yet I think you guys deserve to know the truth.

Hi I want to say something here that the staff was very nice and helpful but I shocked and disappointed during exam. I was finishing my reading test she told me pen down but I was in middle of spelling at that time she came to me and cancelled my one answer that okay I admitted. But what I seen in writing test she said pen down we did it and she was doing something in computer and I have seen some students still writing after time over so my question is to you where is discipline and how gonna mark it? If you didn’t see people were still writing that is okay because of your attention was elsewhere.

I took the test in March of 2022. The test center is super clean and I liked that they had free parking and free lockers. The ladies that were there were super friendly and professional! I took the EILTS academic and I was able to complete everything on their computer, besides the speaking test (face to face, which was great). I had lunch at Earls, it's convenient and around the block. Overall, I highly recommend this test center.That said, they had very strict COVID-19 rules (even though it was not required anymore), I took the French language test in another establishment the day after and they didn't make us wear masks and we could have all our stuff with us. At ETC prairies, mask was required, even for the speaking test (how convenient), and we couldn't take anything with us in the room besides a pen and a transparent water bottle. I think we should be allowed to come with a few more items like tissues and tampons or whatever we need for our personal hygiene, but surely they have their reasons.

The IELTS process is easy. The site is user friendly. The practice material amply prepares you for the test.Everyone encountered on the test day were notably courteous. They politely provided direction during the signing-in process then talked/walked us through the procedures.A special thank you to Ms. Lisa who is the epitome of calm and efficient and set a reassuring, relaxing mood before, during and after sitting the exam.

I took my IELTS on Sunday 28th March and had a pleasant experience, even if I was anxious, the staff were very welcoming and kind, I really appreciated the breathing exercise before each test. Now I can’t want to get the results, hopefully there are good!

I am suggesting to all brothers and sisters, don't book any English test at this center, they are not able maintain silence in the exam room. Even, the supervisor was making noise(murmuring) during exam. Yes sure, I had my exam today I didn't fill-out the complaint form. And yes, this was quite shocking for me too when I felt it. Because generally, never I noticed that type of issue. I have appeared IELTS exam fourth time but never seen that silence issue and everywhere pin drop silence.

I had my IELTS exam in ETC Prairies location in Calgary. I want to say thank you for the organization process, it is really helpful for me and I believe for all candidates , because it is very well organized including the prevention of COVID-19 . The facility is very clean and regularly sanitized. The staff is very polite and all instructions were given clearly . Parking lot is big and free which is also very nice.I am really glad to have such a good place to take IELTS test in Calgary, where I am living now. Last summer we did not have an opportunity to do it in Calgary, and I needed to travel to Edmonton couple of times and it was uncomfortable.I spend a lovely spring day with you, guys .Thank you.

Had my IELTS exam at this location on May 28th, 2022 and this centre in particular is very well organized. The staff here is very polite and made the process very smooth which is important for test takers.
