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 immigration to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom..

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?

There is a choice between Academic and General Training in the reading and writing modules. The Academic reading and writing modules assess whether a candidate is ready to study or train in English at an undergraduate or postgraduate level or if a candidate is applying to become a court interpreter in Croatia.

The General Training reading and writing modules are not designed to test the full range of formal language skills required for academic purposes, but emphasize the skills needed in broad social and educational context. General Training is suitable for candidates who are going to English speaking countries to complete their secondary education, to undertake work experience or training programmes not at degree level, or for immigration purposes to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

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.
