Run your IELTS centre on EngProgress
Your teachers already know what their students get wrong. What they do not have is the twenty hours a week it would take to mark every essay, every reading paper and every speaking mock — and prove it to a parent. That is the part we do.
What a centre gets
Teachers and groups. A centre admin invites teachers; each teacher creates their own groups and adds students. You can create a student account outright — name, login and password, with the email optional. Give an address and the credentials are emailed to them; leave it blank and the teacher hands them over in class or on Telegram. That matters for the students who do not have an email address, which in a real classroom is more of them than software usually assumes.
Assign practice as homework. Set a generated Task 2 prompt or a reading test for a whole group — pinned, so every student sits identical content and the results are actually comparable. Students see it on their assignments page with an unfinished-homework badge, and it is marked the moment they submit.
Reports that answer the question a parent asks.Per assignment: who completed it, the band spread, the criterion capping the class, and the question types they most often miss. Per student: a four-skill picture with recurring weaknesses and a dated table of every practice they have done — homework or on their own time — each row opening the student’s own full feedback page. The teacher sees exactly what the student saw.
The administrative side, too. Attendance, announcements, a lesson timetable, branches with their own rooms and cash desks, invoices, payroll with per-teacher rates, and certificates. A centre is a business, not just a classroom.
Why centres use an AI marker rather than hiring one
- Marking is the bottleneck, and it is the first thing to slip. A teacher with sixty students cannot return essays inside a week, so students stop writing them. Instant marking means a class can write four essays a week instead of one.
- It marks consistently. Two teachers grade the same essay differently, and the same teacher grades differently at 9am and 9pm. The grader does not — same essay, same band.
- It is deliberately strict. Our grader rounds down and names the gap. A centre that hands out generous predictions gets found out on results day; one whose practice bands are slightly below exam-day reality builds a reputation.
- It frees the teacher for the part only a human does. Nobody became a teacher to circle comma splices at midnight.
Your students are ordinary learners, not locked-down accounts
A centre student gets the full platform — all four IELTS skills plus CEFR / Multilevel — and can practise anything they like on their own time. Their teacher sees that work in the same report as the homework. The point is not to fence students in; it is to give the teacher a true picture of who is putting the hours in.
Pricing for centres
Centres run unmetered. The per-practice quotas that apply to individual accounts are switched off for a centre, because a teacher should never be deciding whether a student can afford to write one more essay. Centre pricing is agreed directly rather than sold self-serve — talk to us and we will quote against your student numbers.
How to get started
Apply from the Organization tab on the sign-up pagewith your centre’s official name and email. Applications are reviewed by hand — we approve you, you get a confirmation email, and your admin account can start inviting teachers. If you would rather see it working first, get in touch and we will walk you through it.
Want to see what your students would actually get? Start with the four IELTS skills or CEFR / Multilevel.
Frequently asked questions
Can my teachers see everything their students do?
A teacher sees the students in the groups they own — both the homework they were assigned and the practice they did on their own time — and can open the student's own full feedback page for any of it. A centre admin sees the whole centre. No centre can ever see another centre's data; that isolation is enforced in the database, not just in the application.
Do students need email addresses?
No. A teacher can create a student account with just a name, a login and a password — the student signs in with the login instead of an email. If you do provide an email address, the credentials are sent to the student automatically.
Which skills can I assign as homework?
Writing prompts and reading tests can be assigned to a group today, pinned so every student sits identical content. Listening and speaking assignments are not built yet — students can practise both freely, and that practice still appears in their teacher's report, but it cannot yet be set as homework.
How much does it cost for a centre?
Centres run unmetered — the per-practice quotas that apply to individual accounts are switched off — and pricing is agreed directly against your student numbers rather than sold self-serve. Get in touch through our contact page for a quote.
How do we sign up?
Apply from the Organization tab on the sign-up page using your centre's official name and email address. Applications are reviewed by hand before approval, after which your admin account can invite teachers, who then create groups and add students.
Can we manage attendance, payments and timetables too?
Yes. Alongside the teaching tools there is attendance, a lesson timetable, announcements, branches with their own rooms and cash desks, invoicing, and payroll with per-teacher rates.
