IELTS

IELTS – the International English Language Testing System – is the world’s most popular English language test. It is developed by some of the world’s leading experts (the British Council, the Cambridge English and the IDP) in language assessment and evaluates all of your English skills — reading, writing, listening and speaking.

The test reflects how you’ll use English to study, work and live in an English speaking environment. You can take the test at any of our official test centres across the world.

 

Study, work and live abroad

IELTS is accepted by more than 11,000 organisations in over 140 countries. Those organisations include governments, academic institutions and employers with 3,000 in the USA alone.

Get where you want to go

In most countries where English is the main language, you’ll need evidence of English language skills to apply for jobs and university courses.
 

Prove yourself at home

Proving your English language skills with an IELTS test can help you get a better job or a promotion in your home country.
 

Looking to emigrate?

Your IELTS test results will help you meet your immigration requirements. All immigration authorities that require an English language test will accept IELTS.  

IELTS on computer-you will be taking exactly the same IELTS test, with the same test content and structure. The only difference is that you can choose to type your answers or write them on paper – whichever suits you best.

You will answer the Listening, Reading and Writing sections on a computer at one of our official test centres. The Speaking test will still be face-to-face with a trained IELTS Examiner, as this is the most effective way to assess your speaking skills.

With computer-delivered IELTS, you will now have more test dates to choose from - and your results will be available in 3-5 days.
