About IELTS
Would you like to pursue your studies and your career? Then IELTS is the test you are looking for. IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is the language of communication.

There are two modules to choose from, the Academic (required by universities) and the general (mainly used for immigration to English speaking countries)
