About
IELTS

IELTS—the International English Language Testing System—is one of the world’s most widely recognized English language proficiency tests. It measures your ability to communicate in English across four skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

IELTS results are accepted by educational institutions, employers, professional organizations and immigration authorities around the world. Whether you are planning to study, work, immigrate or pursue professional registration, IELTS can help you demonstrate your English language ability and take the next step toward your goals.

The test is designed to assess how English is used in real-life academic, professional and everyday settings. You can choose between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training, depending on the requirements of the organization or program to which you are applying.
