WHat is IELTS?
IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It is an internationally accredited English language proficiency test. If you intend to take up a job or a course of study, in Latvia or abroad – wherever English language skills are required, IELTS is the test of your choice.
Three highly reputable education institutions are working together to administer the test: the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.
Why IELTS?
|
International recognition
|
|
More than 6000 educational institutions, government agencies and professional organisations in 120 countries recognize IELTS results as a valid language proficiency test – more than 3500 just in the US. This makes IELTS one of the most universally recognized English language tests in the world.
|
|
Focussed on practical needs
|
|
IELTS tests English as it is used in work, study and everyday life. This is done by assessing all four areas of language proficiency: listening, reading, writing and speaking. More about the test.
|
|
Fair test conditions
|
|
IELTS takes great care to assess language skills as fairly and true to the real world as possible. Because of this, IELTS is the only internationally accredited English language test where active speaking skills are not assessed via the computer, but in a face-to-face interview.
