If you want to work, migrate, study or seek vocational training in the UK, you might need to take the IELTS for UKVI test. It is a Secure English Language Test (SELT) approved by the UK home office for visa applications to the United Kingdom.

The IELTS for UKVI General Training test is the same as the IELTS General Training test in terms of content, format, scoring and the level of difficulty. However, the IELTS for UKVI test is only available at test centres who meet the administrative requirements outlined by the UK Home Office. Your Test Report Form (TRF) will also look slightly different if you take a IELTS for UKVI test.
