What we do?

Student Essential Services (SES)

We also provide certain exclusive services to our students seeking education in Australia such as health cover, accommodation, guardianship, and more.

IELTS, the International English Language Testing System

As a co-owner of IELTS, we can help you book and prepare for your IELTS test. Recognised by more than 10,000 organisations around the world, IELTS is the world’s leading English language test for study, work and migration purposes. IDP’s IELTS network spans more than 450 test locations across 55 countries.

IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and Cambridge Assessment English.

English language teaching (ELT)

IDP operates 11 English language teaching campuses across South East Asia in Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. Our teaching programs range from short IELTS preparation courses through to extensive Business English programs. Last year, IDP delivered more than 75,000 courses to students across the three countries.

Acquisition of the Hotcourses Group

In 2017, we acquired the Hotcourses Group, a leading course search database and student placement company.

The addition of the Hotcourses Group to the IDP network allows us to start our relationship with our students earlier, so we are by their side throughout the whole international education journey, from course discovery through to career.
