The International English Language Testing system (IELTS) is an internationally owned and globally recognized direct English language assessment of the highest quality and integrity, readily available throughout the world. It measures the language ability of people who wish to study or work in an environment where English is the language of conversation. There are two versions of the test – Academic and General training. Those who desire university entrance take the Academic Version and those who are looking to immigrate to an English-speaking country typically sit the General Training module.

IELTS is accepted as proof of English ability by a majority of higher learning institutions in Australia, Canada, UK, Ireland, New Zealand and a large number of universities and colleges in the USA. It is also used by a number of professional bodies and governments worldwide.
