IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is designed to assess the language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is used as the language of communication.  IELTS covers all four skills - listening, reading, writing and speaking - at nine levels from Non User to Expert User and is one of the fastest growing English language tests in the world.  IELTS sets the standard in integrity, research and innovation.

Over 1,000,000 people a year are now using IELTS to open doors throughout the English-speaking world and beyond.  Over 6,000 educational institutions, government agencies and professional organisations across 120 countries around the world – including over 2,000 institutions in the USA - recognise IELTS band scores for a range of purposes including further education, training and immigration.  

IELTS is administrated jointly by three leading organizations involved in international language training and assessment:

• The British Council
