What is the IELTS test?

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular English language test.

It evaluates all of your English skills – reading, writing, listening and speaking.

It measures the language proficiency of people who want to study or work where English is used as a language of communication. It uses a nine-band scale to clearly identify levels of proficiency, from non-user (band score 1) through to expert (band score 9).

IELTS is accepted by more than 10,000 organisations in over 140 countries. These include governments, academic institutions and employers.

IELTS was developed by The British Council, IDP – International Development Program of Australian Universities and Colleges and Cambridge English Language Assessment.

Learning and Testing Services (LTS) of East Africa is an authorised IELTS Registration and IELTS Testing Centre for the British Council.
