IELTS (the International English Language Testing System) is the world’s most popular English language test for work, study, and migration. More than 12,500 organisations including universities, professional bodies, immigration authorities and other government agencies trust IELTS as a reliable indicator of true-to-life ability to communicate in English.

IELTS assesses a test taker’s English language proficiency across four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Delivered on either a computer or paper, IELTS is the only high-stakes language test recognised for migration across Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

With a focus on human conversations, IELTS was a pioneer of four-skills English language testing more than 30 years ago. IELTS continues to set the standard for English language testing today.

IDP has more than 2,000 test locations across 60 countries. This includes more than 260 computer-delivered IELTS centres.

In August 2021, IDP acquired the British Council’s IELTS business in India.
