If you plan to study in higher education or seek professional registration in an English-speaking country, you might need to take the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test.

​

There are four sections to the IELTS syllabus, covering reading, writing, listening and speaking, giving a comprehensive way of testing the learner’s English skills. There are two types of IELTS tests: IETLS Academic and IELTS General Training.
