IELTS

Suppose you're not a natural English speaker but would like to study or work in a country where English is the official language. In that case, you'll need to take the International English Language Testing System, or IELTS. The British Council in the United Kingdom and the International Education and Development Partnership in Australia run it worldwide. There are two versions of this exam—an academic and a general one.

Globally, more people take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) than any other English language exam. More than 3.5 million people took the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam in 2018.

Over 140 governments and over 10,000 schools, businesses, and other organisations worldwide accept IELTS as proof of English proficiency.
