IELTS

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.
