The world’s most trusted English language test can now be taken from the convenience of home in select countries and territories around the world.
Suitable for people looking to demonstrate their English language ability for study purposes, IELTS Online is the same academic test that’s accepted and trusted by organisations around the world.
IELTS Online has the same timing, content and structure as the IELTS Academic tests taken in centres, whether on paper or on a computer academic test. However, it offers test-takers more choice on where they take it.
The IELTS partners are committed to giving test takers choice around how and where they take their IELTS test, including those who cannot attend a test centre.
IELTS Online assesses English-language proficiency across four key skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The Speaking test is conducted one-to-one with an accredited IELTS examiner, via a live video call.
Like the computer and paper options of the test, IELTS Online maintains the focus on human conversation, empowering test takers to demonstrate their true ability to communicate with real people.
IELTS Online is currently running one session per week in select countries. Session frequency and locations will continue to increase over the coming months.
