The world's leading English language test from the comfort of your home.

Same test, more flexibility

IELTS Online is the same test as the IELTS on paper or IELTS on computer Academic test taken in a test centre. It assesses your English-language proficiency across four key skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The Speaking test is conducted one-to-one with an accredited IELTS examiner, via a live video call.  

Speaking test sessions are about 15 minutes and are available Monday to Friday. The Written test covers Listening, Reading and Writing, and is 2.5 hours long. Written test sessions are available Tuesday to Saturday. Your Speaking Test must be completed at least a day before your Written test.  

IELTS Online is available in over 60 countries and territories worldwide. Please check our booking page to see if IELTS Online is available where you are. However, if you’re taking IELTS for a visa or immigration purpose, you’ll need to take the test in an official IELTS test center.
