IELTS is widely recognised by universities in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. Candidates take it when they want to study or work abroad and need to prove their language competence to a university or other institution.
IELTS is available in two modules - Academic and General Training Module.
You will find a lot of information about IELTS on its official website: www.takeielts.org.

The General Training Module is suitable for students who wish to complete their secondary education in an English-speaking country, for people who are going to work or train abroad, or for immigration purposes (people migrating to Australia, Canada and New Zealand must sit the General Training test).
