Are you planning to study or train abroad? Are you applying to an institution and need to prove your level of English? Do you need to raise your standard in English? Then we can help you with an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam.
WHERE IS IELTS RECOGNISED?
IELTS is accepted by most British, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand academic institutions. In the United States it is increasingly gaining recognition as an alternative to TOEFL (Teaching of English as a Foreign Language).
WHAT TYPE OF IELTS SHOULD YOU TAKE?
You can take either the Academic or General Training modules. Choose the Academic module if you are planning to undertake academic study in a higher education institution.
If you are planning to undertake non-academic training or apply for immigration to Australia, Canada or New Zealand, we recommend you take the General Training module.
You will be tested in listening, reading, writing and speaking whichever module you decide to take. For further information contact our examination officer.
HOW MUCH WILL IELTS COST?
Fees for the exam are Tk.9750/- for either the General Training or Academic modules. You can register for IELTS at any of our offices in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet.
WHEN AND WHERE WILL THE TEST BE?
Although test dates vary, we run a regular testing service so you can take throughout the year. Find out when you can take your test.
Usually, tests are taken at our centres in Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, and Sylhet. Sometimes, you may need to take the test elsewhere - we will let you know one week before the test if this happens.
Tests begin at 1 pm. You will take the Writing, Reading and Listening papers together. The writing and reading papers last for 60 minutes and the listening paper for approx 40 minutes.
The Speaking test is taken separately, on the same day, and lasts for about 15 minutes. You will receive confirmation of your time slot for this test from our exams team on the day of the exam.
WHEN AND HOW WILL YOU RECEIVE YOUR RESULTS?
The test is marked at the British Council in Dhaka to make sure you receive your results as soon as possible. You will receive your results within a maximum of 12 working days.
Results will be returned to you as a Test Report Form. There is no pass or fail mark. Scores are given on a band scale of one to nine (with one being a non-user and nine being an expert user of the English language). Download or read through a copy of the IELTS handbook for more detailed information.
