IDP IELTS Silom - IDP Education

“IDP – Start your journey here.” I had a good experience taking the IELTS UKVI Life Skills test with IDP. From the moment I arrived, the ambiance was calm and welcoming, which really helped ease my nerves. I also met other Asian girls who were taking the same test as me, and it felt comforting knowing we were all on the same journey. The examiner was professional, clear, and friendly, which made the speaking test feel more natural and less stressful likewise with the IDP staff,Overall, it was a positive and well-organized experience. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for the UKVI Life Skills test.

It was a very well organised test day at IDP Bangkok centre in Silom. Extremely courteous and helpful staff makes it really easy. I was taken aback though at the security measure, to the extent, I would term them as extreme and not even seen at the airports. You can’t carry a wipe for your glasses, can’t carry your handkerchief, they will strip the label on your bottled water and the piece of cake. I requested that I would like to carry a bottle of water in my speaking interview as I was facing a slight sore throat. But you know what? it was refused. I was politely but firmly told that if I had a health condition, I should have made an early request. Seriously? I could wake up with a little sore throat on the day of the test, no?

Everything was great especially the staff were really friendly. However, I found a little bit of annoying related to headphone and keyboard. The sound from the headphone of other candidate was heard by me throughout listening section which really make me not able to concentrate, also the other candidate and staff were talking which was not so loud but as you know, just a little bit of other sound can distract during listening section. Another concern was the keyboard, one of the tab particularly "Back" button was tight and had to type two times to function well which wasted my time. Apart from these, everything was great.
