What is IELTS?
IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is a test of English language proficiency and one of the world’s most popular and respected forms of English in education and migration. Intended for non-native speakers who are looking to study or work in an English-speaking environment, IELTS training is an internationally recognised system for testing English language ability in four categories:
- Reading
- Speaking
- Writing
- Listening
Since its introduction in 1989, IELTS preparation has become one of the most trusted forms of English-language assessment and is accepted by over 8,00
0 universities, employers, and immigration organisations worldwide.
At StudyIn, you have access to a range of free and paid resources and IELTS coaching, giving you a better chance of meeting the entry requirements of your preferred university.
