What is IELTS?

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the most widely used English language test for job, study, and migration across the world.

IELTS is trusted by over 10,000 businesses as a trustworthy predictor of real-life English communication competence.

Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking are the four abilities used by IELTS to evaluate a test taker’s English language ability. IELTS is the only high stakes language exam authorized for migration throughout Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and it may be taken on a computer or on paper. IELTS was a pioneer of four-skills English language assessment more than 30 years ago, with a focus on human dialogues.

IELTS is still the gold standard for English language examination.

Academic institutions, government organizations, professional organisations, and companies utilize the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) as one of several considerations in assessing whether a test taker can be admitted as a student, considered for employment, or for citizenship purposes. IELTS is not intended to be used as the only criterion for admission or employment for test takers. IELTS is offered to people of all ages, races, nationalities, and religions all across the world, however it is not suggested for anyone under the age of 16.
