Home > Examinations > IELTS > What type of IELTS should you take?
IELTS is available in two formats, Academic and General Training. You will be tested in listening, reading, writing and speaking whichever module you decide to take.
The Academic Module assesses whether a candidate is ready to study or train in the medium of English at an undergraduate or postgraduate level. Admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the UK, Australia, Canada or New Zealand is based on the results of these modules.
If you want to study using English at undergraduate or postgraduate level or you are applying to nursing or medical councils, you should take the Academic Module.
If you are planning to undertake non-academic training or apply for immigration to Australia, Canada or New Zealand, the General Training Module is the most appropriate.
This information serves as a guide only. Candidates should check with the receiving organisations about entry requirements, before deciding which module they need to take.
