The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the key to accessing global opportunities. IELTS is one of the most widely recognized and regarded English proficiency exams in the world, with thousands of colleges, companies, and immigration organizations accepting it.
IELTS is a standardized test meant to measure non-native English speakers' language proficiency. It assesses four key language abilities: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. The exam is divided into two modules:
Academic Module: This module is appropriate for anyone seeking higher education or professional registration in an English-speaking country.
General Training Module: This module is appropriate for students looking to migrate to English-speaking nations or get work-related experience.
