International English Language Testing System

With Free Mock tests.

IELTS scores are recognised by universities and colleges, employers, immigration authorities and professional bodies. Over 1.4 million candidates take the test each year. IELTS is recognised by more than 6000 educational institutions in over 135 countries.

The rules for English proficiency exams to support a visa or immigration to the English speaking countries  underwent major changes in 2015. This essentially means that the IELTS Academic is the only English exam that can now be used to gain visas for university study and professional registration.

IELTS is for:

• Students wishing to study abroad at boarding schools
• Students wishing to obtain early admission at university
• Students wishing to study at undergraduate level
