WHAT IS IELTS?

IELTS is jointly managed by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge Examinations (Cambridge ESOL)

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is now the world's leading test; designed to assess whether candidates are ready to study, train or work where English is the language of communication. Over 1,5 million candidates take it each year. It is recognised by more than 6000 institutions in over 135 countries and accepted in the USA by more than 3000 institutions and programs. It is a prerequisite when applying for immigration to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom.

IELTS in the USA is trusted by top 25 universities, accepted by all Ivy League colleges and used by programes at the top 50 universities with most international students. View here the online database of all US organisations that accept IELTS.

All universities in Australia, New Zealand and the UK as well as most universities in Canada accept IELTS. For a complete list of universities in English and non - English speaking countries, educational providers, professional registration bodies and a wide range of employers worldwide; as well as the scores and the module they require, please click here or search the online database by keyword. Here you can also find the recognition list for Croatia where it is a requirement for a court interpreter licence for English and is accepted by the University of Split instead of an English entrance exam.

WHEN AND HOW YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR RESULTS

The Test Report Form (TRF) gives a brief description of the candidate's level of knowledge. A score is reported for each of the four test components which are then averaged and rounded to produce an overall band score.

The results are issued on the 13th day after the test and are sent by post on the same day. They can also be viewed online. Please note that the only official notification of the candidate's result is the printed TRF and the centre is not responsible for any errors relating to web release.

Up to 5 additional copies can be sent to the institutions the candidate applies to. The institutions can be stated in the Application form or by mail after the candidate receives the result. There is no extra charge for this.

Results are valid for two years.
