The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the most widely recognised English language test in the world. IELTS is accepted by over 12,000 organisations in more than 140 countries and is developed by some of the world’s leading experts in language assessment.
IELTS opens the pathway for you to discover the world, get the job you want, and demonstrate your English language abilities.
The test you choose depends on your goal.
There are two types of the IELTS test available – IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training
It measures if your English language proficiency level is suitable for an academic environment. The test reflects aspects of academic language and assesses whether you are ready to begin training or a course of study in English.
It measures English language knowledge in a practical, everyday context. The test tasks reflect real-life situations in social or workplace settings.
Please check which test you are required to take with the institutions or organisations.
