A focused 10-day course preparing you for the Standardised Test of English Proficiency (STEP), administered by ETEC's National Center for Assessment (Qiyas).

STEP Preparation Course

Course Description

The STEP exam (Standardised Test of English Proficiency) is a computer-based assessment administered by ETEC's National Center for Assessment (Qiyas) and is widely required for university admissions, scholarships, and employment in Saudi Arabia. This intensive course prepares you to perform at your best across all four sections of the test.

Over 10 days of focused training, you will develop the reading comprehension, grammatical accuracy, listening skills, and analytical thinking the STEP exam demands. You will practise with exam-style questions, learn effective strategies for each section, and build the confidence to manage time and pressure on test day. Sessions are face-to-face and delivered by a qualified English language instructor.

Information About the Course

The course covers the four STEP exam sections: Reading Skills (10 hours), Structure and Grammar (7 hours), Listening Skills (5 hours), and Analysis Skills (5 hours), plus a dedicated Exam Strategies module (3 hours) covering time management and mock practice. You will work through realistic practice questions for each section and receive guidance on time management and test-taking techniques.
