Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions, Answered

Top questions from Auckland PTE and IELTS students. Full list on the FAQ page.

What is the minimum PTE score for New Zealand PR?
PTE 58 (no section below 54) — equivalent to IELTS 6.5 — satisfies every current NZ residence pathway: Skilled Migrant Category (6-point system), Straight to Residence, Work to Residence, AEWV renewals and new grants, Care Workforce, and Transport Sector Residence. Higher scores don't earn more points under the 6-point SMC. PTE 79+ is only needed for some occupational registration bodies (e.g., Nursing Council NZ) and a handful of NZ university programmes.
Is PTE or IELTS better for NZ immigration?
Both are accepted by Immigration New Zealand. PTE results come back in 48 hours and many find the AI-scored format more consistent. IELTS offers One Skill Retake. We coach both — book a free assessment and we'll recommend based on your strengths.
How many sessions do I need to reach PTE 79?
It depends on where you're starting. Some learners close to their target hit 79+ inside a week of intensive coaching; others need two months or longer to build foundation and fluency. We run a free assessment first, then match you to a pace — 10 sessions over 15 days, 20 sessions over a month, or continued coaching beyond that. We cater to your level of competence, not a fixed timeline.
How much does PTE coaching cost in Auckland?
Our PTE 10-session course is $700 NZD. The 20-session course is $900 NZD. IELTS courses start at $800 NZD. All prices include mock tests and personalised feedback.
Where are you located?
We have two Auckland centres: 639 Great South Road, Manukau City Centre, and Unit 5, 46-50 Broadway, Papakura. Open Monday–Friday 9:30am–8pm, Saturday–Sunday 11am–2pm.
Can I prepare for PTE in 2 weeks?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no — it depends on your starting band. If you're already close to 79, our 10-session crash course (15 days) can get you there. If you're further off, pushing for 2 weeks won't help; we'd recommend a longer programme instead. The free assessment tells us which camp you're in.
What is the difference between IELTS Academic and IELTS General for NZ?
IELTS Academic is for university admissions and professional registration. IELTS General Training is for immigration visas including the Skilled Migrant Category. Immigration NZ accepts both for residence applications depending on the visa type.
Do you offer visa support after I get my score?
Yes. Target Language Academy is part of the ProVisas family. Once you have your English score, our licensed immigration advisers at ProVisas can handle your visa application — student, work, or residence.
Do you use a real PTE test simulator?
Yes — every student practises on a PTE test simulator that mirrors the actual Pearson test environment. Same on-screen interface, same task timings, same AI scoring against the traits Pearson grades on. By the time you sit the real test, you've already sat six to twenty simulator mocks in our classroom — no surprises on exam day.
