IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is a high-stake English language proficiency test for higher education and immigration.

IELTS has been well designed and developed by language assessment experts. It tests the four English language skills, listening, reading, writing, and speaking that you need for success in employment or study placement in English-medium programs.

There are two versions of IELTS tests, IELTS Academic and IELTS General. If you are preparing for the entry into a university or college program for study, IELTS Academic should be your choice. IELTS Academic measures your level of English language proficiency in an academic environment.
