IELTS Speaking practice online for learners in Chile
First published: · Last reviewed:
The Universidad de Chile has published a remote IELTS preparation course for the second semester of 2026. That announcement does not set a universal admission score for study abroad. If you are considering the Universidad de Chile remote course, keep its preparation calendar separate from IELTS test dates and from your destination university's requirement.
Local facts at a glance
- Local test: IDP Chile says it no longer offers paper-based IELTS. The Colegio Pedro de Valdivia ISP centre listing shows Academic and General Training on computer.
- Local Academic fee: CLP 275,500, according to the test centre's listing, checked on 14 October 2026. Confirm the current amount with the centre. The published fee is for the Colegio Pedro de Valdivia ISP centre; check the current fee when you book.
- Time difference: Chile is about 10 hours behind Hanoi. The gap with Hanoi can change depending on the date in Chile, so check the specific day of your lesson. When you arrange a lesson time, confirm it in writing in both time zones.

Choosing the test for your destination
The Universidad de Chile preparation announcement describes a course, not the score a destination university will require. Identify the specific programme before anything else, and confirm the test version and component minimums there.
What the averages mean
The figure for Spanish speakers groups candidates who share that native language across several countries. Since Chile has no Academic row in the table consulted, it would be wrong to present that average as Chilean or as a personal forecast.
For candidates whose native language is Spanish, the Academic table records Speaking 6.61 and an overall score of 6.70; these are not figures for Chilean nationals. Source: IELTS test taker performance data 2024–25.
A useful practice task for Chile
An opening recording can show where your reasons start to scatter. After feedback, try a different question about future plans and notice whether your explanation keeps a clear thread. That comparison helps you choose the next task.
The time gap can make a live session difficult.
From preparation course to test
The remote course published by the Universidad de Chile is a preparation opportunity with its own conditions and dates. It does not define the band each overseas university requires. If your application is for a specific programme, collect that programme's requirement and check that the information is still current. Then compare the version it accepts with the options the test provider shows in Chile.
To practise Speaking, choose a topic that makes you explain a preference and a consequence. Listen to the recording and mark where you add a useful detail and where you drift away from the question. Then answer another question, about a different experience, without copying the structure word for word. Bringing two samples to a lesson lets you ask for feedback on a change you can both hear. It also helps you decide whether a live slot suits you: start by converting the Vietnam time to Chilean time for the chosen date, and consider whether you will be able to speak calmly at that hour.
Frequently asked questions
Does practice give me a test score?
No. A preparation course announcement and a teacher's comment are not the same as an test score.
Before you continue
Before paying, check the Chilean centre, the current fee and the receiving institution's conditions. Convert the UTC+7 booking time into the matching Chilean time for that date.
