International English Language Testing System
IELTS is the most popular English test in Australia, accepted locally and globally for migration, study and work purposes.
One of the highlights of IELTS is the face to face speaking test, which can adjust to your individual ability and won't "time out" if you're struggling to find the right words.
Preparation material, both free and paid is widely available and you get 30 days access to an online training system as part of your booking.
If you need help during your booking, customer service is only a few clicks away or available face to face at our test centres in Melbourne and Sydney.
