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 UK, 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 Reading and Writing modules. Choose the Academic Reading and Writing 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 Reading and Writing modules. You will be tested in listening, reading, writing and speaking whichever module you decide to take. If you are unsure of which module to take, you can discuss this with our exams officer.
How can I prepare for the test?
You will be given an orientation at our centre after registration usually one week before the test date where you will be able to know more about the test. Besides, materials that would help you get prepared for the test will be given to you.
HOW MUCH WILL IELTS COST?
Fees for the exam are Nakfa 1,750.00 for either the General Training or Academic modules.
WHEN AND WHERE WILL THE TEST BE?
Although test dates vary, we run a regular service so you can take your test throughout the year. Please contact us to find out when you can take your test. Tests are taken in our centre in Asmara.
WHEN AND HOW WILL YOU RECEIVE YOUR RESULTS?
The test is marked at our Asmara centre to help us make sure you receive your results within 13 days of taking the test. 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).
For more information you can contact or visit us in Asmara. You can also download the IELTS Handbook and an application form for more detailed information.
If you are sitting an IELTS English test, you may want to attend an IELTS workshop to help you achieve the best results.
