WHAT IS IELTS?

IELTS is a test designed to assess whether candidates are ready to study or train in the medium of English. It is recognised as a language requirement for entry to all courses at an undergraduate and postgraduate level in the UK and in some cases in the United States. It is also a prerequisite when applying for emigration to Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

IELTS is jointly managed by British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge Examinations (Cambridge ESOL) through more than 350 locations in 120 countries.

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 or if you are applying to become a court interpreter in Croatia.

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, please ask our examinations officer.
