IELTS is used by educational institutions to assess language ability for courses that are delivered in English. Educational institutions in many countries rely on IELTS, including top universities in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the USA and Canada.
Universities and tertiary institutions use IELTS Academic for their entry requirements. Schools, colleges and some vocational institutions use IELTS General Training for their entry requirements. Find out more about IELTS Academic and General Training in the IELTS Guide for Institutions and Organisations (PDF, 598KB). The IELTS Global Recognition System can tell you exactly which organisations accept IELTS and the scores they require. You can register your institution through our IELTS Recognition form.
