The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) measures the language proficiency of people who want to study or work where English is used as a language of communication.  It uses a nine-band scale to clearly identify levels of proficiency, from non-user (band score 1) through to expert (band score 9).

 

IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training Module

IELTS is available in:

Academic Module – for people applying for higher education or professional registration.

 

General Training Module – for those migrating to Australia, Canada and the UK, or applying for secondary education, training programmes and work experience in an English-speaking environment.

 

Both versions provide a valid and accurate assessment of the four language skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
