If you are applying for admission to universities anywhere in the world, IELTS may be the only English language test you need. And it's recognised for immigration to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. Trust the test they trust.

IELTS has a unique Global Recognition System. The huge, searchable database – accessible at www.ielts.org – includes minimum IELTS scores universities, colleges, employers and migration authorities in the UK and across the world are looking for.

Real-life Speaking Skills
The face-to-face Speaking module of the test is attractive to both candidates and institutions. Many students and education institutions prefer IELTS as the face-to-face Speaking test reflects the real world context in which a candidate would most likely need to use their spoken English. In the Speaking test the candidate speaks to a trained and qualified examiner so the test is realistic and shows the ability to use English in a real conversation.
