Course Description

The International English Language Testing System, or IELTS, was created to help you move, study, or work in a nation where English is the primary language. During the test, your proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing English will be evaluated. You must be able to demonstrate a high level of English language proficiency if you want to work, reside, or study in an English-speaking country.

This includes the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and others. There are several advantages to speaking the local language of the nation you want to work or study in. Additionally, it is necessary for obtaining employment and integrating into the community.

What is the purpose of IELTS?
  • The most objective and reliable English proficiency test for study, employment, and immigration is IELTS.
  • IELTS is accepted for study at the majority of academic institutions in English-speaking nations, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and an expanding number of educational institutions in the United States.

Versions for IELTS

The IELTS test is available in two versions: Academic and General Training. The one you take will depend on the requirements of the academic institution you plan to study at, your work/professional needs, or visa requirements because the purposes of the two tests are different.

IELTS Academic

This exam is for students who want to attend colleges and universities in nations where English is the primary language of teaching in the classroom. The registration process for many professions, including medicine, nursing, engineering, etc., also calls for an IELTS Academic score. The purpose of the Academic test is to evaluate the level of English proficiency needed in academic and higher education settings.

IELTS General Training

For persons asking for permanent residency in English-speaking nations including the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, this test is typically a necessity for a visa. This test is required from anyone travelling to one of these nations for secondary education, employment, or training programs. The goal of IELTS General Training is to evaluate an immigrant's or worker's ability to communicate in English in both the workplace and in daily life.

Scoring System

  • The IELTS test does not pass or fail a student; rather, it employs a band scale of 0 to 9 to determine the candidate's level of proficiency.
  • Candidates must score in accordance with the various band requirements for each nation, institution, and organization.
  • There are situations when the band requirements for a visa and your preferred school, workplace, career, or company are different.
  • IELTS test scores are only valid for two years; if that time has passed, you must retake the exam.
