IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It’s been designed to provide a clear, objective assessment of true English language skills. It measures how well candidates:
- speak,
- understand,
- read and
- write English.
Every year, government agencies, educational institutions, employers and professional organisations use results from over a million IELTS tests to access the abilities of candidates from all over the world.
