IELTS is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is used as the language of communication |
|
|
|
IELTS is accepted by British, Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and most American education institutions for admissions |
|
|
|
IELTS is used by many professional bodies and governments including the British, Canadian, New Zealand and Australian immigration services, the General Medical Council in the UK, and the Australian Medical Council. It is used for recruitment purposes by public and private organisations in many countries |

|
IELTS covers all four language skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking (take a look at the test format) |

IELTS is offered in two test formats: Academic is suitable for candidates planning to undertake higher education study; General Training is suitable for candidates planning to undertake non-academic training, or for immigration purposes |

candidates are given a score from 1 to 9 which shows their ability in each of the four tests, and an overall score of 1 to 9 |
