Research shows that IELTS motivates test-takers to develop real
and well-rounded English rather than learning by rote. This means
your understanding of English is improved and valid for real life
in an English-speaking country.
IELTS is owned by three reputable, international organisations. It
has the highest quality control and security procedures. More than
6000 organisations, including many government departments and
universities, rely on IELTS. The IELTS scoring system is recognised
globally, giving you a truly international result.
