International English Language Testing System

Why take this test?

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is recognised as an entrance requirement by British, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian universities and for secondary, vocational and training programmes.

How does it work?

All candidates are tested in four areas: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The Listening and Speaking modules are the same for everyone, but the choice of Reading and Writing modules is determined by the purpose for taking IELTS:

Academic Reading and Writing modules are suitable for those seeking admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
General Training Reading and Writing modules are suitable for candidates who are going to English-speaking countries to complete their secondary education or to undertake work experience or training programmes not at degree level. The General Training modules are also used for immigration purposes.
