IELTS assesses if you are ready to study or train in English. It tests your ability to read, write, speak and listen in academic or general training contexts.
It is recognised by most British, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, and increasingly by American academic institutions and is accepted by many professional organisations.
The IELTS certificates have been nationalised free of charge since the beginning of 2009.

Your purpose for taking IELTS determines whether you select the Academic or the General Training Reading and Writing tests. Please check with the particular institution to which you are applying to establish the required module and score. All candidates take the same Listening and Speaking test.
 |
 |
 |
The Academic module is usually suitable for those seeking admission to tertiary, undergraduate and postgraduate courses and for professional registration (United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and United States of America). |
 |
 |
 |
The General Training module is suitable for those who are going to English-speaking countries to complete their secondary education, or to gain work experience not at degree level, and also for immigration purposes (Australia and Canada). |
