The non-academic test for migration

The IELTS General Training test is unique in that it assesses proficiency in everyday English, as opposed to academic English tested by other test providers. This makes it easier for those aspiring migrants who may not have had extensive exposure to an academic setting.

A chance to add valuable points to your immigration application

Many countries award the same number of points for a superior IELTS score as they would for eight years of skilled employment or a four-year doctorate program.

Prepares you for success like none other

IELTS Prepare by IDP gives you access to a range of preparation materials at your fingertips: from practice tests, videos and articles, to expert assessments, online courses, webinars and more.

Face-to-face Speaking Test

Speak with a human examiner in the IELTS Speaking test , in a private and quiet room. Your examiner can slow down, repeat and clarify questions, and won’t ‘time out’ on you.
