We’ve completely upgraded our Online NBT Preparation Course to give students a smarter, more focused way to prepare. Instead of working through content blindly, the course helps you identify exactly where you need to improve, then guides you step-by-step through a structured learning journey that builds both skill and confidence. The result is a more efficient, more intentional approach – one that prepares you not just to write the NBTs, but to perform at your best.


The NBT Course Knowledge Checker and Diagnostic Test

One of the most powerful additions to the upgraded course is the Knowledge Checker and Diagnostic Test.

Instead of guessing where to begin, students now start by identifying:

  • Which areas they already understand
  • Which topics need more attention
  • Where their biggest gaps lie

This allows for targeted preparation, saving time and increasing confidence. The diagnostic test gives students a benchmark for where they are at in terms of their readiness for the NBTs.


A Structured Learning Journey That Works

Once students understand their gaps, the course guides them through a clear, step-by-step learning journey. The course includes:

  • Video lessons explaining key concepts
  • Worksheets to practise skills
  • Quizzes to test understanding

This ensures students are not just watching, they are actively learning and improving.


Real Test Practice: Full MAT & AQL Mock Exams

Preparation isn’t complete without real exam practice. That’s why the course includes:

  • 3 full MAT mock tests
  • 3 full AQL mock tests

These allow students to; experience real test conditions, build confidence, improve timing and accuracy


The NBT Smart Guide

To ensure every learner is fully prepared, we’ve added the NBT Smart Guide, giving you everything you need to confidently book your test, know what to expect on the day, and approach the NBTs with clarity.

The NBT Smart Guide brings together everything you need to understand the test before you even begin preparing the content. It covers what the NBTs are, explains the difference between the AQL and MAT tests, and guides you through the practical steps such as how to book your test and whether you should write online or in person. It also includes essential test-day tips and helps you understand how to interpret your results once you’ve written. Designed to be clear, concise, and highly practical, the Smart Guide helps you feel informed, prepared, and confident every step of the way.

In just a short amount of time, you’ll gain clarity on the entire NBT process, helping you feel organised, prepared, and confident going into your test with no surprises on the day.


Milestones and Badges

Learning is easier when you can see your progress. That’s why the upgraded course includes:

Milestones and badges as you move through the course. These provide:

  • A sense of achievement
  • Motivation to keep going
  • Clear progress tracking

Real Support From Real People

In a world full of automated tools and AI-generated responses, this course does something different. It’s built by real educators, people who understand how students learn. And when you need help? You don’t get a chatbot. You get a real human response.

Students also have access to:

  • Qualified tutors (Monday – Friday, 8:00 – 16:30)
  • Direct support when they get stuck


Flexible Learning That Fits Your Schedule

We know students are busy. That’s why the course is fully online, flexible and self-paced. So you can prepare in a way that works for you, whether you start early or closer to your test.
