What is IELTS?

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world's most popular high-stakes English language proficiency test for study, work and migration with more than 2.9 million tests taken globally in 2016.

IELTS results are recognized by more than 10,000 organizations, including educational institutions, employers, professional associations and governments, in over140 countries around the world.

IELTS test format

IELTS is a test of all four language skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking.

You will take the listening, reading and writing tests all on the same day one after the other, with no breaks in between. You may also sit the speaking test on the same day, or it may be scheduled up to 7 days either before or after the test date. Contact the test centre for more information.
