IELTS for study

The IELTS Academic test is for you if you plan to study in higher education or if you are seeking professional registration. It will assess whether you are ready to begin studying or training in an environment where English is the language used.

The IELTS General Training test will measure your English language proficiency in a practical, everyday context. It is appropriate for you if you plan to study in high school or a vocational training program.

Check the English language requirements of different recognising organisations before you book your IELTS test.

What is the difference between IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training?

If you plan to migrate to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the UK or the USA, taking an IELTS General Training test makes sense. Or if you are planning on studying in secondary education, or enrolling in vocational training, this might still be the right choice.

But if you plan to study in higher education or want professional registration in an English-speaking country, you might need to take an IELTS Academic test.

What is the difference between IELTS and IELTS for UKVI?

IELTS and IELTS for UKVI are exactly the same test in terms of format, content, scoring and level of difficulty. The only difference is an IELTS for UKVI test is approved by the UK Home Office for work, study and migration purposes.
If you take an IELTS for UKVI test, your test report form will be a little different to show that you have taken an IELTS for UKVI test at an approved IELTS test centre.

What is the price of the Academic for UKVI test?

The price of the Academic for UKVI test is approx $270 USD. Check the IELTS booking system for accurate prices.

Will the IELTS test centre send my results to universities overseas?

When booking  your IELTS test, you  are  given the option to have your IELTS results sent up to up to 5 nominated institutions. If  you have  already taken the test  and would like to send your results to a recognising organisation, contact the  test centre  where you sat your exam. They will be able to help. Note that  there may be additional fees  for this.
