The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular English language proficiency test.
The Tests
There are two IELTS tests available – IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training:
- IELTS Academic measures whether your level of English language proficiency is suitable for an academic environment. It reflects aspects of academic language and evaluates whether you’re ready to begin training or studying.
- IELTS General Training measures English language proficiency in a practical, everyday context. The tasks and tests reflect both workplace and social situations.
Please check here which test you require with the institution you are applying to. IELTS is recognised by more than 12,500 organisations worldwide.
The structure of the test is as follows:
- Listening: 30 minutes
- Reading: 60 minutes
- Writing: 60 minutes
- Speaking: 11-14 minutes
