The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) assesses an individual’s proficiency in the English language. It is taken by those who wish to work or study in a country in which English is the primary language of communication. It is accepted in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and it can be sat in over 1,600 locations throughout the world. The IELTS Academic Test is intended for those who are seeking higher education or professional registration in an anglophone country.
