IELTS General Training for UKVI | IDP IELTS Pakistan

The official IELTS by IDP app is here! Download it today.

If you want to work, migrate, study or seek vocational training in the UK, you might need to take an IELTS 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 General Training for UKVI test is the same as the IELTS General Training test in terms of content, format, scoring and the level of difficulty. However, the 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 UKVI test.

Ask IELTS

Can I use my IELTS Academic results for migration purposes?

IELTS Academic and General Training are two wholly separate types of test, for two different purposes. While some individual organisations may accept an Academic result in the place of General Training, this decision is up to them. You will need to contact your specific organisation to learn more.

I am a native speaker. Why do I need to take the IELTS test?

IELTS may be a requirement for entering your desired course in an educational institution. It is also used in many countries as a part of their migration assessment. If you are not sure as to why you might need to sit the IELTS test or about the score you need, contact the organisation you are applying to.

They will be able to provide further information, including whether native speakers need to complete the IELTS test. Even if English is your primary language, you will still need to prepare for the test.

What band score do I need to migrate abroad?

The band score you need to migrate to a particular country varies. Check our Who accepts IELTS page to check what band score you need.
