What is IELTS?

IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. IELTS measures true to life ability to communicate in English, and is recognised by UK Universities for university entrance.

The objective of the course is to give training in the skills and techniques you will need to enable you to sit the IELTS exam with confidence.

The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test provides an evaluation of English for those who wish to study or train in English. It is very similar to the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) required by North American universities and colleges. IELTS is a jointly managed test by the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, British Council and IDP Education Australia. The test is accepted by many professional organizations in Australia and New Zealand including: the New Zealand Immigration Service, the Australian Department of Immigration. If you are interested in studying and / or training in Australia or New Zealand, this is the test best adapted to your qualification needs.
