The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a widely recognized language proficiency test designed to assess the English language skills of individuals seeking to study, work, or live in English-speaking countries. Recognized by universities, employers, and immigration authorities globally, IELTS evaluates candidates’ listening, reading, writing, and speaking abilities, providing a comprehensive assessment of their English language competence.
IELTS is available in two formats: Academic and General Training. The Academic module is designed for individuals applying to study at universities or institutions in English-speaking countries, while the General Training module is suitable for those seeking employment or immigration opportunities in such countries.
