The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to help you work, study or migrate to a country where English is the native language. This includes countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and USA.
Your ability to listen, read, write and speak in English will be assessed during the test. IELTS is graded on a scale of 1-9.
IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge English.
IELTS is the most popular test for those looking to migrate to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. It is globally recognised by more than11,000 employers, universities, schools and immigration bodies including 3,400 institutions in the USA.
The higher you can score in your IELTS, reflects a better understanding and ability to communicate in English. Each immigration body, university, workplace or institution will have specific IELTS score requirements. The score you need will depend on what you are looking to do in the country,i.e work or study.
IELTS for migration:
IELTS is accepted as proof of English language ability for study, work and migration in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK.
Each country sets its own IELTS score requirements which we have listed below. Scores requirements will also vary depending on the requirements of your visa, and where you plan to study or work.
IELTS Online is currently not suitable for immigration purposes. If you are taking IELTS to immigrate you will need to complete your test in a test centre. If you want to move to an English-speaking country to study, then you should take the IELTS Academic test.
IELTS for study:
Over 5.3 million students study abroad every year. Many students study in English-speaking countries, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the USA.
Studying in an English-speaking country offers lots of opportunities. It can also allow you to specialise in a particular field or gain employment once you have finished your education.
IELTS is recognised by more than 11,000 organisations, including educational institutes and professional bodies. Some universities in non-English-speaking countries also require an IELTS score for courses taught in English.
IELTS Academic can be taken in a test centre (on paper or on computer) or remotely online. Before booking your test, please check which formats of the test your organisation accepts.
If you take IELTS at a test centre, you can request to send your IELTS results to a maximum of five organizations free of charge – there is a fee for sending results to additional organisations. You can request for your test centre to send your results to your chosen organisations.
If you take IELTS Online, you can send your IELTS results to as many organisations as you wish, with no additional fee. IELTS Online results are provided in an electronic format.
The IELTS General Training test is also suitable for those applying to study at an English-speakingschool or college below degree level. If you want to move to an English-speaking country to study, then you should take the IELTS Academic test.
IELTS for work:
Many of the registration bodies that accept IELTS represent the health care professions. This includes industries such as nursing, medicine and pharmacy, where English language competence is of critical importance.
Other professional bodies in particular countries requiring an IELTS result include accounting, engineering, law and veterinary practice.
A wide range of other employers from sectors such as finance, government, construction, energy, aviation and tourism also require IELTS.
Required proficiency levels vary between organisations, professions, by country and by jurisdiction. It is up to individual professional registration bodies to determine the IELTS band score and test type (Academic or General Training) they require.
This test is usually required for vocational training, for example in the construction, hospitality and leisure, and tourism industries.
There are two types of IELTS: Academic and General Training. IELTS Academic can be taken in a test centre on paper or on computer, and can now also be taken online from home or another private location that has a stable internet connection. IELTS General Training can only be taken in a test centre on paper or on computer.
For Academic and General Training you take the same Listening and Speaking tests but different Reading and Writing tests. Make sure you prepare for the correct test type.
The Listening, Reading and Writing sections of all IELTS tests are completed on the same day, with no breaks in between them.
The Speaking test, however, may be scheduled up to a week before or after the other tests. If you booked IELTS Online, your Speaking test will usually take place before your other tests. The total test time is 2 hours and 45 minutes.
