What is IELTS?

Wish to move abroad for further studies, work or immigration? IELTS is the test for you! It is recognised by more than 10,000 organisations, including educational institutions, employers, professional associations and governments, in 140 countries around the world.

Computer-delivered IELTS

The best of both worlds. IELTS is now offering the convenience of computer-delivered testing for Listening, Reading and Writing, with the comfort of real people in quiet rooms for Speaking.

If you choose to take the IELTS on computer, you will take the Listening, Reading and Writing tests using a computer. The Speaking test will remain face-to-face with an examiner, as we believe it is the most effective way of assessing your speaking skills and prompts a more lifelike performance.

Why take computer-delivered IELTS?

There is more than one reason why IELTS on computer is best for you! The IELTS (The International English Language Testing System) has been a paper-based English test for almost 30 years, and it was time to add more options for your convenience. These tests should be opened on a desktop or laptop computer.
