IELTS – Your Gateway to Global Opportunities

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is one of the most trusted and widely recognized English proficiency tests in the world. Whether your goal is to study abroad, work in an English-speaking country, or migrate permanently, IELTS can be your ticket to achieving it.

What is IELTS?

IELTS is an English language test designed to assess your reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. It is jointly managed by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia, and Cambridge Assessment English.

Over 11,000 institutions worldwide — including universities, immigration departments, employers, and professional bodies — accept IELTS scores.

Types of IELTS Tests

1. IELTS Academic

For people applying to study at a university or for professional registration in an English-speaking country.
