Re: IELTS Ownership

International English Language Testing System IELTS is the world’s most popular high-stakes English language test accepted for work, study and migration purposes.

The IELTS test is jointly owned by three organisations; IELTS Australia, the British Council and Cambridge English Language Assessment.

The IELTS test is designed to assess the language ability of people who want to study or work where English is the language of communication

Types of IELTS Exam

IELTS tests are of two types (modules)

1. Academic module

The Academic format is for those who want to study or train in an English-speaking university or Institutions of Higher and Further Education.

Admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses is based on the results of the Academic test.

2. General module

The General Training format focuses on basic survival skills in a broad social and educational context.

It is for those who are going to English-speaking countries to do secondary education, work experience or training programs. People migrating to Australia, Canada and New Zealand must sit the General Training test.
