Our Mission

The Academic format is relevant for those who want to study overseas and for those who require Academic test results for registration purposes with a professional body in an overseas country.

The General Training format is recommended for migration to a Commonwealth nation, work overseas or to attend foreign training programs.

Online booking is the easiest and most used method nowadays. You may personally call over at the test venues and register as well. Having a valid passport is absolutely essential for the IELTS test registration.

Cancellations and postponements are possible subject to certain centre-specific conditions, you will receive a refund minus an administration fee.

The Listening, Reading and Writing components of the test will be completed immediately after each other and with no break. You may take the Speaking test up to 7 days either before or after the test date, depending on the test centre. For Computer-based IELTS, the speaking test is usually done on the same day.

Test rules and guidelines can be found on the 'Notice to Candidates' section provided in the IELTS Application. You are earnestly advised to read the 'Information for Candidates' booklet carefully so that you understand the test format and know what to expect on the test day.
