International English Language Testing System
IELTS is the world's most popular English proficiency test, accepted by over 11,500 organisations in 140+ countries. It assesses Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking across two formats: Academic and General Training.
IELTS measures your ability to communicate in English across all four language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. It is jointly managed by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia, and Cambridge Assessment English.
The Academic module is designed for students applying to undergraduate or postgraduate programmes, while the General Training module is for migration and work purposes.
