What is the IELTS test?

IELTS is a standardized test that assesses listening, reading, writing and speaking skills in English. It is recognized by thousands of educational institutions, employers and government agencies worldwide as an accurate measure of language proficiency.

 

IELTS Test Structure

The IELTS consists of four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Each section has its own format and duration, and the entire test is taken in a single day. It is important to become familiar with each section and practice regularly to gain confidence and improve performance.

 

Types of IELTS

There are two versions of the IELTS test: Academic and General Training. The Academic version is designed for those wishing to study in English-speaking educational institutions or health professionals seeking to work in English-speaking countries. The General Training version is intended for those who wish to emigrate, work or undertake vocational training in an English-speaking country.
