What is IELTS?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System. IELTS is designed to check the
English language proficiency of the one who takes the test.
The IELTS test is the world\u2019s most popular English language proficiency test for higher education
and global migration.
Governing bodies of Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia and even Singapore use IELTS for the
process of immigration application.
IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment
English.
There exist two tests for IELTS. Academic IELTS and General IELTS Training.
Academic IELTS – This measures whether your level of English language proficiency is suitable
for an academic environment. This reflects aspects of academic language and evaluates whether
you are ready to begin training or studying.
General IELTS Training- This measures English language proficiency in a practical everyday
context. The tasks and tests reflect both the workplace and social situation.
The IELTS test that you decide to take is based on what it is that you want to do.
IELTS has been developed by some of the world’s leading language assessment experts and will
test the full range of English skills needed for success in your new job or study placement abroad.
