IELTS
IDP Education co-founded and jointly owns IELTS (International
English Language Testing System) in association with the University
of Cambridge ESOL Examinations and the British Council. IELTS is
the world’s leading English language proficiency test.
Since its launch in 1989, IELTS has been an innovator in English
language testing and was the first to measure the ability to
communicate in all four language skills:
- Listening
- Reading
- Writing
- Speaking
IELTS is available to test takers in more than 800 locations in
more than 130 countries.
Every aspect of the IELTS test, from test design and
administration, to the marking and reporting of results, is subject
to the highest quality controls, security procedures and integrity
management practices.
This rigour has ensured that IELTS remains trusted and
recognised by immigration authorities and government departments in
almost all English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada,
New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. More than
6,000 institutions and faculties of further and higher education in
all major English-speaking countries, as well as government
agencies, professional associations and employers, recognise and
use IELTS scores.
