International English Language Testing System (IELTS) @ Infoschool

 

About IELTS
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) tests the complete range of English language skills, which students will commonly encounter when studying or training in English.

Many professional organizations including the New Zealand Immigration Service, the Australian Department of Immigration, Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, the Australian Medical Council, the UK General Medical Council and the UK Ministry of Defense accept IELTS as also most Australian, British, Canadian and New Zealand academic institutions. American academic institutions are increasingly accepting IELTS for admissions purposes.

The IELTS exam has become one of the most popular public examinations worldwide for students wishing to gain entrance to an English-language academic institution. Rather than getting a pass or fail the candidates receive a score from one to nine with most UK universities typically requiring a score of 6 or 6.5. At International House Bristol almost 100 percent of recent students have achieved the score they needed.
