The World Speaks IELTS
IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It
measures ability to communicate in English across all four language
skills – listening, reading, writing and speaking – for people who
intend to study or work where English is the language of
communication.
Since 1989, IELTS has been proven and trusted worldwide to
provide a secure, global, authentic and customer-focused test which
measures true to life ability to communicate in English. More than
6,000 education institutions, faculties, government agencies and
professional organisations around the world recognise IELTS scores
as a trusted and valid indicator of ability to communicate in
English.
Over 940,000 people a year are now using IELTS to open doors
throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. The test is taken
every year across 120 countries, and is one of the fastest growing
English language tests in the world, and sets the standard in
integrity, research and innovation.
When the question is English language ability – IELTS is the
answer
