and speaking) English language testing and continues to set the
standard for English language testing today. Six

around the world each year trust and recognise IELTS as a secure,
valid and reliable indicator of true-to-life ability to communicate
in English for the purposes of education, immigration and
professional registration.
The IELTS test is designed to assess the language ability of
candidates who study or work where English is the language of
communication. It is the preferred test of English for students
intending to study in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and,
increasingly, the USA.
