WHAT IS IELTS?
IELTS is the premier English Language test for prospective students, migrants and personnel world-wide. With IELTS you can assess your ability to read, write, speak and understand English, thereby adding value to your job or study application.

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the preferred language test by corporations and institutions in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada and increasingly in the USA. It is the government approved test for migrating to Australia and New Zealand, and accepted for migration to Canada. Trainees into Government departments and entrants into professional organizations in the United Kingdom and Australia (such as the Ministry of Defence and the General medical Council, to name a few) sit the IELTS test.
