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 of English? Then we can help you with the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam.
On certain dates throughout the year we run International English Language Testing Service (IELTS) which is managed jointly by the British Council, the International Development Programme of Australian Universities and the University of Cambridge Examinations for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). By taking this test, you will obtain an official assessment of whether you are prepared to study or train in English. It is widely recognised as a language requirement for entry to all courses in further and higher education. The test is also used by a number of English speaking countries to test the applicants' standard of English for immigration or employment purposes.
We have test dates bimonthly. Please see our exams calendar for details.
Results are issued ten working days after the test.
The test fee is increased to 290 KM (two hundred and ninety) and this is effective with 01 April 2007. You can pay the fee by a bank transfer using our payment form
