Special arrangements due to a health condition

In order to ensure that the language ability of all test takers is assessed fairly and objectively, IELTS provides a comprehensive service for test takers who have special requirements, including specific learning difficulties, hearing difficulties, visual difficulties, medical conditions or infant feeding.

If you require a modified version of the test, for example a Large Print or Braille version, you must give the test centre three months’ notice. This notice period is necessary for the modified test version to be prepared.

If your circumstances require special administrative arrangements to be made, for example if you need extra time or you need to use access technology such as a screen reader, you must give the test centre six weeks’ notice.

Please contact your test centre to discuss your requirements.

Any special arrangements agreed are in accordance with the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ).

IELTS Examination Venue

IDP IELTS tests are generally held in hotels, schools and conference centers. The venues are mostly located on Kowloon (including: Lai Chi Kok, Kwun Tong).

Disclaimer: It is the responsibility of the test taker to register for the right type of test (IELTS, IELTS for UKVI). The test centre cannot be held responsible for an incorrect selection.

Please Note

We have noticed some online advertisements on several social media sites claim to provide services for IELTS test takers, such as registering for IELTS, collection of results and making arrangements for a re-mark of the test. We advise all potential IELTS test takers to avoid using such services that are not directly affiliated to IELTS.
